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.
