I've setup a FreeBSD 2.0 box and have to PC's connected to it through 
ethernet cards, when I do a "ping pc1" or "ping pc2" from the unix 
machine it works, when I do a ping from PC1 or PC2 to HOST it works, but 
when I do a ping www.xx.xx from PC1 or PC2 timeout error occurs.  I 
added a ifconfig lo0 alias www on the configuration (sysconfig) and when 
i do a ping www on a unix screen it works, how can I access my web 
server in the unix machine from the PC's??

P.S. also just before the login prompt in the boot process there is a 
message that say's:
  host.xx.xx not found
altough when I login and type ping host.xx.xx it work's!!!.  Why is the 
message comming out?

Netstat -r gives:
Destination	Gateway		Flags	Refs ...	Netif
mynet		link#1		UC	1
host		0:40:5:...	UHLW	0		lo0
www		www		UH	0		lo0

Thank's for the help.
