Hi, I'm a newbie FreeBSD user, I've just installed the 5.5 version. I know this is a very silly question but I've searched the archives and any suggestions are welcome. I think my system is not connected to the internet or any external network, ping dosent work ( nor ftp or dig) When I try to do a post-install configuration and choose to enable the inetd daemon option from the sysinstall, it doesnt invoke the editor to change the inetd.conf at all, so I did a root-login and enabled ftp, even pftp and other services in the file as mentioned in the installation document. But still I'm unable to ftp to any server, the message I get is ftp: hostname or servname not known or not provided. Do you guys have any ideas ? Thanks Bhuvana
