If so, you need to check the dhcp setup. If he is using dhclient (which is the stock FreeBSD DHCP) then he can see what info the ISP is providing by reading /var/db/dhclient.leases Nope. I'm set up with static IP on a private network behind a router running NAT. The router is running DHCP client for it's WAN information. It is using port forwarding as follows; 80:192.168.1.80 21-24: 192.168.1.80 This allows originating requests from the outside to get passed to the apache etc...(You probably know how NAT works (_?_) IP&sub of FreeBSD 192.168.1.80/24 gateway of freebsd 192.168.1.1 (router via, "route add default 192.168.1.1") TCP routing works fine. I can see my apache web servers from the net abroad. Oddly enough I don't have resolve.conf in /etc. I have the list of name servers from my ISP. Don't worry about bothering me with details, I'm pretty ignorant. --MS_Mac_OE_3065174065_1673849_MIME_Part Content-type: text/html; charset="US-ASCII" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <HTML> <HEAD> <TITLE>dns resolver questions</TITLE> </HEAD> <BODY> <TT>Mike Meyer writes:<BR> > Len Conrad <<FONT COLOR=3D"#0000FF"><U>LConrad@Go2France.com</U></FON= T>> types:<BR> > > >the system doesn't seem to know where to direct dns requests.= <BR> > > man resolv.conf<BR> > <BR> > If you're using a dynamic IP address, you may want to check with your<= BR> > ISP, and see if they are providing the name server addresses via<BR> > DHCP.
