Look in the log files, perhaps named couldn't bind to 127.0.0.1 on 53/udp for some reason. What does $ netstat -an | grep '\.53' show? You should see something like this: tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.53 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 192.168.91.34.53 *.* LISTEN udp 0 0 127.0.0.1.53 *.* udp 0 0 192.168.91.34.53 *.* I assume everything else works ok via the loopback address? -- Ben Smithurst / ben@scientia.demon.co.uk / PGP: 0x99392F7D To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
