Typically, both should be set with the IP of your router (192.168.0.1). For the hostname and domain name, you don't need to put something in particulat - you would know it if you did - so you can make something up.

Re: Asking for help on first installation
In general you will do better to do a new install from a bootable CD. But here is what you need to know: host is whatever you want your server's host name to be. This doesn't really matter as you will be on a private LAN. domain again this doesn't matter as you will be on a private LAN IPv4 gateway your routers IP address, 192.168.0.1 domain server your ISP Name server for DNS name resolution. -Derek At 07:48 AM 2/19/2007, Manfred Frey wrote: Hi FreeBSD folks, I'm a UNIX user for some time but now I'm trying to install my first FreeBSD system over the internet.

Since you're using FreeBSD at home, in a private network you dont need to follow any rules regarding the settings. That means that you're free to pick a hostname of your choice. e.g. homecomputer. Since you're also not part of any domain you may pick that one also. Like homenetwork. The gateway is obviously 192.168.0.1. As nameserver you pick whichever German Telekom assigned. 217.237.151.142 is your own IP at the time and clearly not your nameserver. As Telekom customer you could just use 194.25.2.129 for example. Ok, in the little network interface window you use your local ip and netmask. so ipv4: 192.168.0.4 netmask 255.255.255.0.

Probably trying to use DHCP to discover all these settings would be the easiest way, for the router/gateway will give you all the needed info. -- Guido http://www.rottnic.nl ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
