Hello, I just got an xDSL system. In Windows I can browse the
internet and do whatever I want just fine. However, in FreeBSD the
only things that work are my p2p programs. Azureus and amule work
fine, they both connect and download. However, when I try to use
dillo, Firefox or Thunderbird they always timeout when trying to
access the net. Does anyone have any idea what I can do to fix this? I had cable internet before and it worked fine. The DSL modem is
hooked up to the computer through Ethernet.



sounds like a DNS-issue, check your /etc/resolv.conf, if your ISP does not use DHCP then you have to fill /etc/resolv.conf yourself

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/book.html
section 11.10.2.1 tells you more




Ok, I think you may have pointed me to the source of the problem. Here is what my resolv.conf looks like after every time I reboot my compuer:
search domain.actdsltmp
nameserver 192.168.0.1
nameserver 205.171.3.65


Now, if I change it to this (using my secondary DNS server from my DSL modem's 'setup' page):
search domain.actdsltmp
nameserver 205.171.2.65


...everything works. Is there a way that I could keep this from changing every time that I reboot my computer?

Thanks for the help!
