Hi, I just loaded freeBSD 5.1 and ran into some trouble....I have edited the /etc/hosts file to show the required name....but when I boot up the system hangs and gives the message "...My unspecified name is BLAA......Sleeping for retry" It comes out of this loop if I hit ^C. I have shutoff the name server thinking that it may be trying to assign a new IP to the system. Also ifconfig is showing the required setting to be correct for the interface. What am I doing wrong....I am using a 3COM n/w card. I would be grateful for any help. Thanks Abhay
