next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
FreeBSD 4.1 stable on an intel PII. The network config is actualy very well connected. I can do anything by IP address(i.e ping,ftp etc) and I am serving www with apache and ftp with wu. However, the system doesn't seem to know where to direct dns requests. So, if I say "#ftp secureftp.wheriwork.com" it replies "No address associated with hostaname". I looked into "bind" but was put off by the complexity and the possibility of "tweeking" my ISP by accidentaly becoming the name server for a domain I don't own. (although I do own masspostroad.net). Any help greatly appreciated. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
