[-- Attachment #1 --] Dear FreeBSD, When I inserted the two lines with my nameserver addresses into /etc/resolv.conf, I got no results. I still got the "Host name lookup failure" error when I tried the 'make install' command to install KDE. My /etc/resolv.conf looks like this: domain earthlink.net nameserver 207.217.126.81 nameserver 207.217.77.82 I was also already connected to the internet as root using ppp. Did I do something wrong? - Did you check the files under /etc/namedb/???? You could check on the freebsd.org web page also, and this link also will give information on that...http://www.freebsddiary.com/freebsd/dns.htm The book of Freebsd also has a chapter on DNS. Good luck, Miguel.
