I have already installed FreeBSD succesfully. However, I am not able to connect to the Internet. I have read the ppp manual in FreeBSD (by typing man ppp), but I still can't connect to the Internet. This is what happened at my prompt ... abc# ping google.com ping: cannot resolve google.com: Host name lookup failure Then, I thought perhaps I haven't configure my DNS. So I typed man dns, but I can't find the DNS manual, and yes... I know my ISP DNS IP address. But I don't know where to configure it in FreeBSD. Hope someone can help me. Thanks. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
