I believe it is a FreBSD DNS problem with reverse lookup, but can't resolve
it. I can lookup hostnames, addresses etc just fine from the Win95 to DNS.
I can ping everything just fine from the FreeBSD box. But when I do an
nslookup with no parameters it times out with the following:
*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.93.203: timed out
*** Default servers are not available
(note: I am not connected to the Internet which is why I think the default
server message)
I've included everything I think is important below. I'm sure I'm missing
something very elementary.
Thanks for your help
