I installed FreeBSD also on my laptop at home (with no network connection). (with X windows; startx gives me twm ..) I want to install KDE3 from /usr/ports/x11/kde3 Tried as described: # cd /usr:ports/x11:kde3; make install clean I had hoped everything necessary would be found in the disk. But not: It returns errors because it tried to fetch packages from ftp sites ... an soon stops.. So I still need Internet connection? At home, I have an Internet connection via a Broadband Modem and an account at an Internet Service Provider. This was set up in WindowsXP succesfully (with IP 10.0.0.something, netmask 255.255.255.0, no gateway, 2 DNS server IP addresses provided by the ISP). When making the connection to my ISP I have to enter my username at the ISP provider (username@PROVIDERNAME) and my password) But how do I set up that in FreeBSD ?? In the Post-installation section during Setup, at the question 'Would you like to configure any Ethernet or SLIP/PPP network devides?) answering Yes shows the correct on-board netwerk interface (Broadcom BCM570xx PCI Gigabit ethernet card) I tried DHCP, but no success (which was to expect) Then I get the screen to fill in Host, Domain, Gateway, Name server IPv4 address, netmask ... What do I have to enter (Name server, netmask I can guess) for IP?, host?, domain? and where will come in my username/password for my ISP connection Thanks for hints. Is there any document describing such a connection? pieter
