First, do you have outback.nada.org (or whatever it was) registered as a domain name? What network device do you have (other than lo and tun) - those are just the loopback and serial port devices. Do you have a network card? If so you need a line that contains it like: network_interfaces="de0 lo0" where here my de is my network card. You'll also need to add your IP address to this as I showed before w/ an ifconfig line: ifconfig_de0="inet 153.90.192.177 netmask 255.255.255.0" Brett ****************************************************************** Brett Taylor brett@peloton.physics.montana.edu http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/ "There is something uncanny in the noiseless rush of the cyclist, as he comes into view, passes by, and disappears." - Popular Science, 1891 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
