In-Reply-To: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi, I'm just plinking along trying to teach myself setting up a lan in my house, going for a peer to peer 10 base 2 set up between a 2.2.1 and a win nt box. Setting up the fbsd box was not a real chore, I've been able to work through all the issues thus far without too much a hassle, and I've learned alot. But I'm stumped on starting named. I'm running the named that comes with 2.2.1. When I attempt a named -b /etc/namedb/named.boot I get back "syntax error near ". General experience with my mistakes leads me to believe that the named.boot file has nothing to do with it, but I will reproduce a few lines here for fun: cache . named.root primary . localhost primary 127.in-... IP127 And so on. Netstat -r returns (snipped): (the phys interface is an NE2000, so the device is ed0) default fbsdbox UGSc 1 6 ed0 10/24 link#1 UC 0 0 10/24 UHLW 2 1601 lo0 I hope I've been brief without omitting too much. My main questions would be: is this network architecture viable? What might I be missing with named? I ktraced named but all it told me was that it didn't like named.boot. (Back to square one). Like I said I'm self-teaching me all this network stuff, so this is not mission critiical (thank ghod), but I want to learn. Thanks.
