Re: internet access from FreeBSD
Is there a later copy Not that I'm aware of. I searched my copy for the word internet and couldn't find it. Weird. Did you try Internet? Can I access the internet with a currently gettable copy of FreeBSD If I understand correctly, you're asking if you can use FreeBSD to access the Internet? If so...yes. Any version will do! If you're referring to using a web browser and such, then you'll have to install those yourself, but it's not difficult. Since I get my mail via juno , can I access them nicely from FreeBSD or do I need something to interface to it... I have no experience with this 'juno', so I can't help there. Perhaps others will have further advice. -Modulok- On 9/22/09, gs_stol...@juno.com gs_stol...@juno.com wrote: I have a copy of Greg Lehey's online book about FreeBSD, but I believe it is from February 2006.

It's a bit unclear what you're asking, but it sounds like you want help regarding more recent versions of freeBSD and their capabilities. Have you looked at www.freebsd.org and the documentation there? I'm not sure what a book about freeBSD would have that the official documentaioin wouldn't. freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

I think you might have left out some important information we could use to better help you. Are you talking about the ISP Juno? (Do they still exist?) Are you in the US? Are you asking about how to connect to your ISP via a dial-up connection? I think most of us are using DSL or cable broadband, so people may not be making the same assumptions about what connect to the Internet as what you expect. What is a take-off copy of FreeBSD? Do you perhaps mean a LiveCD -- a CD on which a bootable install of FreeBSD exists, so you can boot into FreeBSD on the CD, but then take out the CD and reboot into whatever OS is installed on the computer's hard drive? I'm making some wild guesses here, because I really don't know what you're asking. Please help us clarify your needs so we can help you satisfy them. -- Chad Perrin [ original content licensed OWL: http://owl.apotheon.org ] pgpXyD1YX4zS9.pgp Description: PGP signature

After you install FreeBSD on your computer (while the install is going on, the computer will connect to the Internet with no problems to get information) you'll probably find you can't connect to the Internet. The first thing you need to check is /etc/resolv.conf. It's probably not there. I've always had to put it in. You need the ip's of the SBC DNS nameservers put in it. If you are still using Windows, pullup the command prompt, type nslookup. That will give you the main ip address of the DNS server you are using. Don -- Donald J.

Re: Internet Access
i used to have SBC dsl... it will work with freebsd although its not officially supported and none of the yahoo gimicks will work like video streaming as they only support windows IE. (i'm also a mac user so it pisses me off on several levels) If you are ever down, they won't help you because you don't run windows. You could lie to them of course. :) It might be good to look for a different isp anyway. I've had a lot of problems with SBC's billing department.

(I am assuming DSL.) If you have an external DSL router, I don't see any reason why your connection shouldn't work. A little more information about how you connect would definitely help answer your question. - Eric F Crist Secure Computing Networks PGP.sig Description: This is a digitally signed message part
