No problem. FreeBSD support's Theo deRaadt's YP implementation. You can set your domainname and run ypbind just as you would on a sun client. Actually I can make telnet or ftp from the FreeBSD PC to a work- station using the IP address, I am NOT able to do something like: $ftp pax.inria.fr Sounds like you need to configure your /etc/resolv.conf file to use a nameserver!
