I need help there. > You have to edit /etc/resolv.conf to register your nameserver (you don't say whether you're using IP numbers or hostnames to ping) Your problem sounds like you also didn't configure your system to find your router / gateway. Look in rc.conf/sysconfig (depending on your version of FreeBSD) and look for the line : defaultrouter="NO" and fill in your routers IP address between the quotes. Also make sure that you have filled in the IP number and netmask of your own machine in correctly. > I also need help on installing Radius for the livingston portmaster. > Unarchiving using zcat, g-something, and tar can be confusing. Any help in > this area would be appreciated. If it is a standard FreeBSD package, you could do: pkg_add Radius.version.tar.gz and that will do it. Also have a look at pkg_info and pkg_delete. Otherwize, go to the directory where you want to unpack and do the following: tar -ztf filename.tar.gz that will give you a list of files and the directory structure in the tarball. (Check that you go to the right dirwectory to unopack then). Do: tar -zxf filename.tar.gz > > Thanks, You're welcome pierre > > newbee-ka-newbee > > > Rick > > -- Pierre-Andre van Leeuwen Electronic Engineer Powered By FreeBSD ******************************** * Nanoteq (Pty) Ltd. * Specialists in data security * E-mail : pvl@nanoteq.com * Ph : +27 (0)12 665-1338 * http://www.nanoteq.co.za ********************************
