FreeBSD internet access and installing lynx, apache...
*I am fairly new to unix and FreeBSD
I previosly did a minimal installation of FreeBSD 6 in order to test some C++ programs before going to work on the real server. Tommorow I will need to install Samba on the server at work. What I wanted to do was set up FreeBSD at home to almost mirror the installation at work. I didn't configure or install anything at work so I don't know how to do much.
I need to be able to have internet access (I cannot ping)
I need to install lynx.
I need to install apache.
and any other things required to get lynx apache lynx and samba to work
I need to install Samba. (since this is what I really need to do im making it a separate question)

Installing FreeBSD again IS an option if that would be easier. (but I need to know what options to select)

Ok i shall try that immediatly and post results while im doing it.
As the first steps use sysinstall, so you get some time to familiarize with command line tools, like pkg_add in example.
I have to sleep now. Goodnight.

when i run sysinstall and go to configure, there is no networks option afterward, there is a networking and then I found it and used the FreeBSD handbook and this picture:

(this was REALLY what started me going! thanks A lot!)

To install lynx I did it through ports>>
and cd into the lynx folder and did make && make install && make clean
-------------------------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ----
lynx is still installing at this point.
When i go to install apache is there anything that needs to be configured?
Also what does:
pkg_add -r lynx-ssl apache2 w3m samba
do?

I installed from www/apache21 folder:
does this mean it is apache 2.1? I have been following the guide for 1.3.
Also i didnt make a backup of the original httpd.conf, where can i find the default? or how can i restore the default configuration?
