When I do nslookup with my ipaddress I get Can't find server name for address 157.237.xx.xxx: nonexistant host/domain Server: Cache02.ns.uu.net Address: 198.x.x.x Cache02.ns.uu.net can't find 157.237.65.118: nonexistant host/domain We have a dhcp server, NT, ip 157.237.xx.xxx. My freebsd box gets it's info from that dhcp server. -- Chip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
