Very Computer

Hi BSD gurus!!

This could be a dump question!! Since I am not an IT person, I hope
that I have an exception. Anyway...

I am trying to setup a FreeBSD server and I am having some
difficulties to understand the network device configuration.
Specially, what is my host, domain, ipv4 gateway, name server, etc.
Please help me out.

Oh by the way, the system that I am trying to setup will be a http
server.

Thank you,
Balendran

comp.unix.bsd.freebsd is not widely propagated, so you won't
necessarily get much help here.
See http://www.freebsd.org/support.html for better ideas...

You need to get that information from whoever operates your network
(service provider, network administrator, etc., as appropriate).

Then you probably should pick up some basic knowledge of how the
Internet works as well.

host = name of your machine
domain = the domain that your machine belongs to
gateway = The IP address of the machine/router that will handle your packets
name server = The IP address(es) of the machines that your box will
query to resolve hostnames to IP addresses and vice versa

None of us here can answer these questions for you. Ask the admin of the
network that this box will be plugged into for the details.

Best of luck.
