I configured /etc/host.conf with the order: hosts bind. Why doesn't use the system the /etc/hosts file? The machines I tried to connected to are listet in this file. I read in the fbsd - mailing lists someting about IPv6 which could produce the problem -> somrting wrong with the lookup order: - IPv6 /etc/hosts - IPv6 DNS - IPv4 /etc/hosts - IPv4 DNS Is there a possibility to switch off the IPv6 support? thx, Oliver To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
