JD> I installed freebsd 5.1 on my computer when it was not connected to any JD> network (but my ethernet card was attached). Now that my computer has a JD> network connection, I can't access any internet sites, it says it can't find JD> the host. I've installed freebsd 5.1 on this same computer when it was JD> connected to a network and the internet worked right away. I also have linux JD> on this computer and it can connect to the internet fine. JD> So my question is how do I get the internet working on freebsd? Is there a JD> simple command I can run or do I edit some text file? Thanks. JD> _______________________________________________ --------------------------------------------- How exactly is the Computer connected ? (dsl, cable, isdn) Have you tested simple IP conectivity ? (ping 216.136.204.21 (that is freebsd.org)) If you can ping a host using IP number but not using DNS name how does your /etc/resolv.conf look under FBSD and how does it look under Linux ? Hexren
