Looks like you haven't got your hostname set up in /etc/rc.conf
(search for ``hostname=''). You'll also need to add that same name
to the end of the line in /etc/hosts that says ``127.0.0.1
localhost'' and change /etc/host.conf so that it says ``hosts''
before ``bind''.

You've got a defaultrouter set in /etc/rc.conf. Change it back to
``defaultrouter="NO"'' and make sure that you've got
/etc/ppp/ppp.linkup saying
MYADDR:
delete ALL
add 0 0 HISADDR

Don't enable the NIS stuff in /etc/rc.conf either.

That's correct. Also, you'll need to add your ``nameserver=x.x.x.x''
lines (you probably have 2 nameservers) to /etc/resolv.conf. Try
``man resolv.conf'' for details.

Yah, persevere ! You're getting there (compared to where you were a
few days ago) !
Good luck !
