FTP unable to get

[etereo]

when im trying to download gnome with this command pkg_add -r gnome2, i get this message Error: FTP Unable to get ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-7.1-release/Latest/gnome2.tbz: no address record

[SirDice]

No address record indicates something wrong with name resolving. Is /etc/resolv.conf setup correctly? Can you ping www.google.com?

[etereo]

ping: connot resolve www.google.com Host name lookup failure

well looks like i need to setup my network can someone assist me with setting up my network with dhcp

As root, try 'dhclient <nic>', where <nic> is the card that shows up in ifconfig, like rl0, fxp0, xl0, etc.
