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?
