Get the latest ppp from http://www.FreeBSD.org/~brian and add the line: enable dns in ppp.conf. > How can I configure my ppp dial-out connection to fetch my ISP's DNS server when the DNS server is dynamically assigned? > > To clarify: I'm setting up my home FreeBSD machine to dial into my ISP, but the ISP (actually, the office) system doles out the DNS number dynamically. (From WindowsNT, the DNS gateways are blanked out.) > > For now, any IP connections from my FreeBSD machine require an absolute IP address, which makes web browsing darned impossible! > > I'd even be willing to hard code this value somewhere if I knew how to find out what it's currently using, presuming that it really doesn't change all that often. Does it? > > Any help would be appreciated. Thanks. Meanwhile, I'm off to Amazon.com to order that "DNS and Bind" book.... > > > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > -- Brian <brian@Awfulhak.org>, <brian@FreeBSD.org>, <brian@OpenBSD.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org>; Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
