Please help thanks Sometimes I wonder about the cable co ..... I'm not exactly sure what you are asking and if it is FreeBSD related. If it is, and your host is optonline.net then making sure that "/etc/resolv.conf" contains the proper DNS IP addresses for the service provider. They are: 167.206.1.30 167.206.1.103 According to the data at network solutions. Hope this helps. -- Regards, Kevin G.
