I still haven't solved the networking issues on my PC. After including the standard .profile and .bashrc in my startup process, I now get this behavior:
$ nslookup www.google.com /usr/src/ports/net/bind/bind-9.7.1-1/src/bind-9.7.1/lib/isc/unix/net.c:142: socket() failed: Operation not permitted /usr/src/ports/net/bind/bind-9.7.1-1/src/bind-9.7.1/lib/isc/unix/net.c:142: socket() failed: Operation not permitted (null): can't find either v4 or v6 networking $ ping 127.1.1.1 icmp: unknown protocol Does anyone have any idea what would be done to correct this. When I run cmd.exe dos works fine.
