I don't think you want those underscores if that is in rc.local 3. did you run that command (ifconfig ed2 ...) as well as put it in rc.local (or rebeoot?) 4. does it really say to netmask 255.255.255.255? (i'd guess 255.255.255.0, but maybe I don't know ?) 5. are you aware that you can do virtual hosting just with your apache config file with the VirtualHost directive? It works for modern browsers that support it, but not with some older browsers. 6. most importantly... what does host www.tipoftheweb.com tell you? If it is a cname to osicom.net, then you need to either do 5. or else make it a regular a record pointing to 207.236.103.161. hope this helps. -- Steve Farrell To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe questions" in the body of the message
