DHCP: Host name lookup failure


Alright, I'm a newbie at FreeBSD(used to use linux) and I have a problem(had it in linux, but the solution is not applicable here). I started up FreeBSD, everything went fine, but I can only ping IP addresses, not DNSs. I know this is a host name error, but I use dhcp. I also tried editing my DHCP config, but it doesn't save it in /stand/sysinstall(I don't even know my name server, so I don't know why I did that. If anyone know a way to fix the nameserver, that would be helpful. (NOTE: Gateway address is 192.168.1.1, don't know if that'll help). Please help me, I really want to try the ports system.

Reinstalled with the new 5.2.1 and it works, apparently 4.9 doesn't work with my DHCP. Oh well, function over stability!
