I cant access my internet "host name not found"

[shinyreds]

Can anyone please please help me. I can't access my internet with freebsd FreeBSD 9.0. It is saying

host name not found

but I am giving all correct IP configurations and hostname. In windows I enter username and password then it is activated. But how in this case in freebsd FreeBSD?

Can you ping(8) a host with a known IP address?

P.S. Please don't post questions in the HOWTO forum.

what's in your /etc/resolv.conf and are you able to ping just an IP address, gateway, or something like 220.233.0.4?

Don't know about winDOS, but in FreeBSD the IP configuration is set on system startup, not on user logon. Just think about it, does it mean that if I don't logon (enter username and pass), the system will remain offline? You can use the magic "man" command to get pretty much any information you need. Also check the FreeBSD Handbook networking topic.

And check your /etc/resolv.conf and /etc/hosts. Type ifconfig -a to see if the IP configuration loaded properly. And check with your gateway with netstat -rn.

Good luck!
