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''. > and start over.Im just going to be a single user that wants to use > FREEBSD 2.2.7 > to surf the internet "Nothing" fancy Heres is what i see on boot up if > this helps: > > Doing initial network Setup:hostname > ppp0:flags=8010mtu1500 > lo0:flags=8049mtu16384 > inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 > > writing to routing socket:Network is unreachable > add net default:gateway 0.0.0.0:Network is unreachable 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 > Doing additional network Setup:portmapybindypbind:domainename not set > Aborting Don't enable the NIS stuff in /etc/rc.conf either. > I hope this helps a little?

I have all my ISP information available if i need > to redo it 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. > Thankyou in Advance PS! Ive read the man pages and sill > not getting it! Yah, persevere ! You're getting there (compared to where you were a few days ago) !
