My machine is connected to the internet via an ISDN modem, using kernel ppp and i4b. If the link is up, it resolves symbolic names by asking some nameserver. If the link is down, it should just use /etc/hosts to resolve "localhost" and the name of the second computer attached to it by an ethernet link. My problem is that if the ISDN link is down, even a lookup of "localhost" doesn't work. What do you recommend as configuration settings? I seem to get stuck. Regards, Marc
