Hi,

This is my first time trying to install FreeBSD. The install went great. The problem occurs when I try to install any package I get an error message saying 'no address record'.

Below is the output for uname:

> FreeBSD bus 12.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 12.0-RELEASE r341666 GENERIC amd64

Hi Ben, thank you for taking the time to report an issue. Unfortunately, Bugzilla is only for bug reports and not general support issues.

You can obtain general support/help on our mailing lists, forums or IRC. See:

Hint: It's likely that DNS resolution is not correctly set up on the machine. I would google "freebsd" "pkg" "no address record" which appears to have lots of relevant results.
