My FreeBSD box lives behind an Apple Airport Base Station that provides both DHCP and NAT to my wireless network and my BSD box. While 4.3 RC was building, I decided to upgrade the Airport software to v 1.3 (from v1.2). Unfortunately, now I have a problem, and I did the boneheaded thing of making 2 upgrades at the same time and I don't know which or what is responible. From the wireless network, all appears fine. I can access the internet via IP or hostname addresses. But now, from the FreeBSD box, I can only ping the outside world via IP addresses. Pinging using a site's FQDN, gets no response at all --it just sits one line below the "ping steelman.org" prompt until I get frustrated and ^C out of it. The Macs on the wireless network all have "real' nameserver addresses in their TCP/IP control panel (24.3.196.33, 24.3 196.34), but in /stand/sysinstall's network interface configuration (via dhcp) the nameserver address defaults to 10.0.1.1 which is the same address as the gateway. Is there someother place I can enter an alternate nameserver address for the FreeBSD box? Or perhaps, is there something much more fundamental I am missing. BTW, before the upgrade of both the Airport and FreeBSD, internet connectivity worked fine. I'd sometimes get /kernel arp errors that complained that the dialup address of the Airport Base Station wasn't on the local network, but it didn't impact internetwork access. Any ideas?
