What may I be doing wrong?? PacBell uses dynamic addressing, so nothing seems amiss there - can connect with isp OK, at least through MTU #. Any suggestions? using amd 586, 234 mg hd totally dedicated to freeBSD, 16 mg ram, 33k modem, Trident vga. trying to learn unix via old box, is this worth it? Have been through just about all the print on the Net. Thanks, jg To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
