Hello, I've a big problem and still didn't get a response to my mails in this list. Please help!!!! I've a little LAN. One machine (192.168.1.1 : a21064) is configured as a gateway which forwards requests to my ISP via ppp. I've also Linux (192.168.1.2 : p3x2lx) and FreeBSD (192.168.1.3 : p3x2fb) on other computers installed . All works fine if I use Linux : <p3x2lx>$ telnet a21064 -> telnet session to gateway established (no dialup to my ISP) <p3x2lx>$ telnet p3x2fb -> telnet session to FreeBSD box established (no dialup to my ISP) But if I try this on FreeBSD every time a connection is made to my ISP (I think FreeBSD tries to ask the nameservers of my ISP). : <p3x2fb>$ telnet a21064 -> connection to my ISP, then it establishes the telnet session to the gateway <p3x2fb>$ telnet p3x2lx -> connection to my ISP, then it establishes the telnet session to the Linux box I still don't know why because the scripts look similiar to the scripts from Linux. FreeBSD scripts: # /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 localhost 192.168.1.3 p3x2fb.network.de . 192.168.1.1 a21064.network.de a21064 192.168.1.2 p3x2lx.network.de p3x2lx # /etc/host.conf hosts bind # /etc/resolv.conf domain network.de nameserver 195.185.185.195 # first nameserver of my ISP nameserver 194.162.141.17 # second nameserver of my ISP search network.de nacamar.de # my private domain and ISP domain I can't understand it - FreeBSD should first look into /etc/hosts and find a21064 and p3x2lx (the IPs belong to the network segment) and shouldn't ask the nameservers from my ISP. Why aren't the names resolved? The nameservers should only asked if FreeBSD can't find the hostname in /etc/hosts ?!
