Dear Mr. Aaron Siegel,

I am sorry for bothering you again...and Thank you for your response...
Yes, 192.168.1.5 is our gateway's IP address.  I was able to "route add default  192.168.1.5" as root.  When I "netstat -r" the default 192.168.1.5 showed up.  Just to be sure below is the result of my "netstat -r"

Logistics# route add default 192.168.1.5
add net default: gateway 192.168.1.5
Logistics# netstat -r

These are the 2 results of my ping test:
$ ping www.philstar.com
ping: cannot resolve www.philstar.com: Host name lookup failure
$ ping 210.171.225.106

I have a very strong idea that this problem is caused by the remapping of our Ports...as I have informed you, our FTP Port is set to 10021, HTTP Port is set 10080, and so on...How can I set "cvsup-without-gui" to use 10021 for my FTP and 10080 for my HTTP?

I did created the directory /etc/resolv.conf as root, yesterday I had a little talk with the person in-charge of our Computer Room and asked him about our DNS.  He told me that our DNS is dynamically provided by our ISP...So, as in our case with sometimes encoumter problems in our Internet Connection and most of the time we have to REBOOT the machine that runs our Proxy Server...Everytime we reboot or turn that machine off, once we turn in on a new DNS will be used from our ISP, dynamically provided...I was told.

He said that the best thing for me to do is use "www.oisca.org", as my DNS...IS THIS APPLICABLE...for my "etc/resolv.conf"?
 
So at present this is what is inside my /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver www.oisca.org
#nameserver  12.105.171.186 (I added a # to disable it for the moment)
#nameserver  204.127.202.68 (I added a # to disable it for the moment)

I am really sorry that this has been dragging for a long time now...but, I really need your advice on this one...
I have cc this Email to the freeBSD Community that anyone with ideas can also help us...
Thank you...
