I love this operating SYSTEM! (I just COULDN'T start out with a negative...) Found a VERY frustrating "thing" going on with my new FreeBSD installation. I can't seem to make any kind of coherent connection to www.freebsd.org or www.de.freebsd.org. Netscape shows "host contacted, awaiting reply". and then times out. Same with www.de.freebsd.org. I can ftp to ftp.freebsd.org (I know this is a different "thing" altogether, appears to actually be ftp.cdrom.com.) If it were ANY other site that I couldn't connect to it would be a LOT different. I've dialed in using the same account froma computer running "the nasty" (95) and had _0_ problems so I know it has to be SOMETHING with the way my computer is talking, or trying to talk" to, the host on the other end. Since the mailing list hasn't been BARRAGED with copmlaints about connecting such as this one, I have to deduce that it is trouble with my setup...Oh...the behaviour of lynx is _identical_. It hits other sites just fine but can't hit www.freebsd.org. Thoughts? EVERYTHING works except when I try to open any web page at www.freebsd.org, OR www.de.freebsd.org) NOTHING that points to freebsd is in the /etc/hosts file. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Andrew Short Colossians 3:23 ashort@concentric.net http://www.concentric.net/~ashort/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
