Here's a new thread.
Naming the computer host?

I'm confused by this. As I understand it, I get a different DNS assignment every time that I hook into the Internet from a different location. Yet FBSD seems to want a permanent assignment which I would normally get from my ISP. I don't have a permanent ISP. I mainly use 2 services at locations all across the USA. Normally I simply assign a name to the computer, but it appears that FBSD wants a complete Internet address.

This appears to me to be a conflict. I think that I read in "The Complete FreeBSD, 4th Edition" where there are some addresses to use if the computer will never be hooked into the Internet. But that is not the case here.

Any ideas or help here?
