Subject: FreeBSD running CERN Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I'm having a bit of a problem and need some help if possible. Problem: I have an intranet set up with FreeBSD on a 486 pc with a surrounding network of Win95 pcs. I can telnet the server by IP address but not by domainname. I can ping everyone by address but get a bad address when I ping to the domain name. I thought I had everything set up . . . In the etc/sysconfig I have hostname="www.c-mode.net" and I have the defaultdomainname="c-mode.net". I think the networks is fine? I think the netstart is fine? I think everyting else is okay but I run into a wall when I try to get a web page by the address of http://www.c-mode.net; http://199.1.1.3 works fine but no domain name. Is this because of the dash in c-mode? I am ignorant of a majority of UNIX stuff but seem to have made it this far. Any help or suggestions you could provide would be greatly appreciated. Sincerely, Mark Wheeler
