Le bonheur n'est pas encore ici. I assumed you meant: 208.128.132.1 208.128.132.2 but I tried both ways. Neither worked. I have also attempted to set up the "cacheing-only name server" Do you know anything about this? For that, the resolv.conf in the manual is a bit different: nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 208.128.132.1 nameserver 208.128.132.2 I misinterpreted what 'nameserver' meant the first time through. Is this cacheing-only NS what you're using? I tried every combination of your suggestions and the manual's suggestions I could think of and the above was the only one that allowed it to work. It gave a msg 'Ready to take requests' so I assume that was the right way. When I set this up and invoked it, it made ppp all screwy. No echo, no response. But we may be on two different tracks here. But the nameserver thing *is* the problem. I *can* lynx to an IP number. I hadn't thought of that before. Can't ping a name. Any other thoughts? Anyone else out there following this? I also see references to /etc/namedb/localhost.rev and /etc/namedb/named.boot. Or am I on the wrong track again? Thanks to all again for your patience.
