Hmm, lets take a look at the client.

The file /etc/resolv.conf should have at least one line like:

nameserver      194.25.2.129
nameserver	134.93.8.13

The file /etc/rc.conf should have some lines looking like:

defaultrouter="192.168.0.1"
hostname="client1.sage-american.com"

Now, on a client try "nslookup xyzzy.de".

If you get a answer (no error), your network setup should be ok.  Else, let's 
try a "nslookup xyzzy.de 134.93.8.13".  This command tries to resolve the 
name "xyzzy.de" using the nameserver of the University of Mainz, instead of 
the system default.  The answer should be:

->Server:  kingluey.zdv.Uni-Mainz.DE
->Address:  134.93.8.13

->Name:    xyzzy.de
->Address:  195.20.225.16

(without the "->" part).  If you get this, your nameserver entry in 
/etc/resolv.conf is probably wrong.

Else, maybe there's a problem with the gateway.  Do you have a firewall 
installed, perhaps?

Regards,
Robert Klein
