So when I try to login in using Telnet I get a error message that the domain name server cannot be found. I made the necessary changes to the following files /etc/netstart /etc/hosts namedb, inetdb etc all start up. I know I'm missing something but don't know what. Any suggestions, pointers would be appreciated. specs: Walnut CD version of FreeBSD, 486 clone with a Novell NE2000T ethernet card which is recognized on startup. cheers, Ranjan
