Description ispas 2006-12-01 17:40:13 UTC

your site can`t be accessed from here, using freebsd, but it works if i try to access it from windows. the browser is firefox on both.
i tryed with linux, to acces it, the same, it dont works, i can acces your site only from windows. 

as weird this problem seems as real it is. i dont know if the isp, is the problem or what can it be, it is weird for me as i am not an anvanced user of freebsd. 
when i am on freebsd or linux and ping www.freebsd.org, i get nothing, no reply just a message with unknown host(in linux)

so if i want to use freebsd i cannot make any updates, search for any help when using it and so on, you imagine.

can u tell me what the problem can be? coz it is weird for me now.

This is not a problem but a user question, the user and I will try to 
resolve this.

You should add nameservers to your resolving configuration. Please
fetch them from your ISP (or use ipconfig /all within a windows
command shell) and do the following while being root (superuser)
under FreeBSD:

# echo 'nameserver ip-of-one-nameserver-here' >> /etc/resolv.conf

Trying pinging some site now, does that work?

Please note that I will close the PR since this is not a problem
but a userquestion, please reply to me alone so that we can try
to resolve this.

Also please note that we have 
http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions which
might be the perfect place for this question.

Thanks for trying FreeBSD though!

Cheers,
Remko
