Re: Can't get online
Hey Luke ooh ok well you don't have _any_ networking setup by the looks of things. Are you on cable or a LAN of some description? If so you will need to give your box some basic information edit /etc/resolve.conf and enter your NS details. Edit rc.conf and add information about IP address and default router and reboot and you should be good to go. Enjoy LukeK Not to be picky ;-) but here we go. in /etc/resolv.conf the syntax will be nameserver Ip-address the information in /etc/rc.conf will be ifconfig_yournic="inet youripadres netmask yournetmask" defaultrouter="yourgateway" perhaps you need dhcp, then ifconfig_yournick="dhcp" and then (most of the time) you don't have to specify anything in /etc/resolv.conf since that probably will be filled in for you by the remote dhcp server.

Can you "ping 66.218.71.114"? Also, what is the text of the error message? Kevin Kinsey DaleCo, S.P. When I ping www.yahoo.com it says "Cannot resolve www.yahoo.com: Host name lookup failure". When I ping 66.218.71.114 I get "ping: sendto no route to host". ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
