I can't ping the xp box from the bsd one or vice versa :)
But while looking in the router config files I notice in the dhcp clients list that the xp box isn't listed in the client list but it was before I installed namedb.  Could this be the problem.  Basically I have a router connect to the two machines with the router set as the dhcp server. is also has built-in NAT.  i can open my browser in the FBSD box but I can't go beyond the home page.  Looking at the router's web page I have to have at least Mozilla 5.0 or higher, Opera lastet browser or It will never happen the M$ Internet Explorer 6.0 for it to work with the router.  I try a dig www.freebsdforum.org and I got a reply but if I dig anything else I get no response.  I'm at the point now where I just want to experience and enjoy the joy of FBSD on the internet.

Do you see this eighty-foot line ^^^^^

Do you think you can learn to use the "enter" key?

192.168.0.184 shows up in the list because the FreeBSD box heard it on the local
network and thus created an ephemeral route so it knows where to find it. This
is A Good Thing.

Cany you ping 192.168.0.184 from the FreeBSD box? Can you ping FreeBSD from
the XP box? If so, it sounds like your "router" is misconfigured.
