At this moment you should be able to connect anywhere if you happen to know the IP address. the only missing thing is the DNS, so edit /etc/resolv.conf and insert a line like: nameserver <put here the nameserver address> i think this is about it, that should do it. raymundo > > Thanks in advance, > > Andrew Massaro > amassaro@elyxir.com > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
