Hi Doug, Nope, I'm not using named: % ps auxwww | grep named % grep named /etc/rc.conf named_enable="NO" # Run named, the DNS server (or NO). named_flags="-b /etc/namedb/named.boot" # Flags to named (if enabled). % cat /etc/resolv.conf domain umd.edu nameserver 128.8.74.2 nameserver 128.8.76.2 nameserver 128.8.5.2 (The nameservers are okay, and nothing's changed there. My Windoz box works fine.) What I've noticed: It's not just that the nameserver isn't available --->it's as though the route table isn't getting entries added. (Or is that the same thing?) FOr instance: before I start any networking: 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 36 lo0 after running "ppp -auto xyz": 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 128.8.74.2 default UH 1 12 tun0 after connecting to my ISP: 127.0.0.1 127.0.0.1 UH 0 0 lo0 128.8.10.112 128.8.23.151 UH 0 0 tun0 and % nslookup *** Can't find server name for address 128.8.74.2: Timed out *** Can't find server name for address 128.8.76.2: No response from server *** Can't find server name for address 128.8.5.2: No response from server *** Default servers are not available THanks, david >On Thu, 17 Jul 1997, David A.
