I am new to BSD world. After trying for a few week I have configure
FreeBSD4.1 in my machine. Just one question..

I have entered the network information and check that the information is in:

rc.conf
-------
ifconfig_lnc0="inet 202.164.78.31 netmask 255.255.255.128"
hostname="co3018910-a.myhome.com"
defaultrouter="202.164.78.1"

resolv.conf
-----------
domain myhome.com.au
nameserver 202.164.20.11

hosts
-----
127.0.0.1   localhost.myhome.com localhost
202.164.78.31 co3018910-a.myhome.com co3018910-a
202.164.78.31 co3018900-a.myhome.com.



however, I could ping anyother host, but can't ping their DNS name. I reckon
it's a DNS problem. But wherelse could I check and fix this problem? Thanks
for advice.
