I.E. try nslookup www.freebsd.org and if that works (it should tell you Name: freefall.freebsd.org Address: 216.136.204.21 Aliases: www.freebsd.org ) then it is something more subtle than merely "DNS isn't working". If it doesn't work, the first thing to do is check /etc/resolv.conf. It should contain something like domain example.com nameserver 192.0.2.1 nameserver 192.0.2.2 Except that the domain and nameserver addresses should be the ones that are correct for your network. Your ISP or network admin should be able to tell you what to use if you don't already have the information. I have managed in the past to do an install that didn't configure this file, although I don't know how I did it. It normally gets configured correctly when the system is installed. - Bob > burke > > At 09:02 AM 2/26/01 -0500, Bob Johnson wrote: > > > > > > > > > Date: Sun, 25 Feb 2001 15:31:56 -0800 > > > From: Burke Martin <kilgore@speakeasy.org> > > > Subject: Fwd: SSH is making me very sad > > > > > > Hi all, again, > > > > > > Ive been trying to get this straight and nothing ive tried works so far. > > > >ssh should work right out of the box with 4.2-RELEASE.
