I'm a newbie to FreeDSD and UNIX after recently getting Verion 4.0 from Walnut Creek. Problem 1: I can get the OS up ok but have been going nuts trying to connect to Rogers@Home here in North Vancouver, Canada. Rogers does not provide static IPs, only DHCP dynamic IPs. My system is a new pentium III 650 MHZ computer with no apparent hardware conflicts. I'm not at all sure I configured the card correctly though. Most explanations seem to expect a dial-up connection.I can ping one of Rogers' name servers through my current set-up with 100% return. However, they run 4 name-servers. Three of them return a "Host not running" ( or similar) message. Should I be using PPPoE? Which configuration files should I be tweaking? Problem 2 After successfully installing FreeBSD from CDROM I am able to mount the CDROM in order to install other packages but then am foiled because my computer doesn't recognize the CD as FreeBSD. Can you help me out?:) Much appreciated!
