gentle people, apologies if this question should have been posted in the newbies list, but i saw a similar question in the archives of this mailing list, which did not quite answer my question. i'm trying to install FreeBSD for the first time. i'm installing it on my desktop. the installation has gone on pretty cleanly, i have a linksys firewall/wireless router behind which i have installed my freeBSD box. i have good connectivity and am able to ping, telnet to the internet. however DNS resolution is a problem. the browser does not work and for example dig www.freebsd.org also does not work. if i provide the nameserver,dig @server xxx.xxx.xxx - things are fine. any ideas. it has to be something really simple. during the configuration, when i configured my ethernet port, it cleanly gets the ip address from the linksys hub and also lists the nameserver correctly. what else do i have to configure ? ifconfig xl0 : flags=8843<UP,BRODACAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=b<RXCSUM,TXSUM,VLAN_MTU> inet6 fe80::250:daff:fe8c:dcaa%x10 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x1 inet 192.168.1.105 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255 ether 00:50:da:8c:dc:aa media Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status:active plip0: flags=8810<POINTTOPOINT,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 lo0: flags=8049<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST> mtu 16384 inet 127.0.0.1 netmask 0xff000000 inet6 :: 1 prefixlen 128 inet6 fe80::1%lo0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x3 netstat -nr Routing tables Internet: Destination Gateway Flags Refs Use Netif Expire default 192.168.1.1 UGS 0 0 x10 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 1 76 lo0 192.168.1 link#1 UC 0 0 xl0 192.168.1.1 link#1 UHLW 1 0 xl0 192.168.1.105 127.0.0.1 UGHS 0 0 lo0 192.168.1.255 ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff UHLWb 0 2 xl0 /etc/resolve.conf is empty. /etc/hosts is empty. thanks rajiv.
