I copied the useful files from my previously working FreeBSd 1.1.5.1 system (/etc/resolv.conf, ...). They worked just hours before the 2.0 install. Trial #2: I followed the directions in Slip.FAQ (they were similar, but slightly different). Conclusion: Both trials had the same unfortunate result. nslookup and dig seem to work. host, telnet, ftp, etc only work with numeric addresses. One more detail, I am attaching to The Internet Adapter (TIA) on a DEC alpha. This used to work with FreeBSD 1.1.5.1. Thank you for any help! Mark T.
