(1-800-689-0736) Lines: 24 Message-ID: <4gvqns$k4u$1@mhadg.production.compuserve.com> Hello everyone! I am running FreeBSD 2.1 and have some internet problems: I cannot locate a DNS, i.e. nslookup always fails. Could someone please tell me the exact configuration of my ethernet card through which the computer is connected to the Internet. Here is my connection data: * I am connected through a router (194.120.57.141) * My IP address: 194.120.57.142 * My machine's name: dsc.isar.de * My net's address: 194.120.57.140 (net.dsc.isar.de) * the broadcast IP: 194.120.57.143 (broadcast.dsc.isar.de) Could you please tell me in which files exactly what needs to be specified. The Ethernet card's device name is ed0 by the way and in general everything works concerning the card expect anything to do with domain names, although telnet and ftp to IP addresses is not a problem. Another hint: when I boot, it tells me twice that 'My host's name does not seem to exist!', although it does exist. Thank you very much for any help. Tim Trampedach
