Hi Dave, Few more ideas from me...;-) Can you check what is the DNS server that FreeBSD is using and what is the DNS server that your proxy server is using. Are they the same, or may be not ? What is the DNS server for your client *desktop* system? It sounds to me as DNS cash server or something.... Can you try to use a *real* DNS server instead of your current? Give us some more information.... as Kevin said... --Miro ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dave Banning" <sky_tracker@yahoo.com> To: <questions@freebsd.org> Sent: Tuesday, June 18, 2002 11:43 PM Subject: can't access certain web addresses - very weird > I have a freebsd machine which has been operating > fine for a long time, providing web access for a > small network. > > For some reason the machine cannot access certain > web addresses.
