"User" install of 4.6-Release Still a standard install, nothing new added as yet, but the box can't won't resolve DNS. It can ping or FTP using IP address. I'm not even sure what info I need to give to help get this sorted, so here's some basic stuff. If you want to help and need more info, reply to list please or see sig below. Ok then, the problem Smoothwall firewall running a DHCP server. Two other FreeBSD4.6 boxes both worked "out of the box" as far as DNS is concerned. They are assigned IP addresses, see the Smoothy as a DNS server, all ok. Now, this new box just can't seem to see the DNS server on the smoothwall box. Smoothwall is set to give out IP address in the range 192.168.1.10-30. The new box was assigned 192.168.1.15. It can ping both internal and external 'net address's. It can even FTP into ftp.uk.freebsd.org if I use the IP address. If I use the URI, I get: ftp: ftp.uk.freebsd.org: No address associated with hostname I tried assigning IP and router addresses manually in /etc/rc.conf: #ifconfig_ed0="DHCP" ifconfig_ed0="inet 192.168.1.19 netmask 255.255.255.0" defaultrouter="192.168.1.1" Exactly the same results. I have no idea how to manually set up FreeBSD to use specific DNS addresses. Please help.
