While trying to test it with nslookup I came across a problem. I issued the command 'nslookup ewok.sunnet.co.za' and the response was: *** Can't find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Server failed *** Can't find server name for address 196.25.1.1: Timed out *** Default servers are not available The reason why the second server timed out is coz that server is my isp's and am not yet connected to them by leased line. My resolv.conf looks like this: domain sunnet.co.za nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 196.25.1.1 Thanks in advance Langa Kentane Manager: Network Operations Sunshine Networks Tel +27 82 928 1952 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
