[-- Attachment #1 --] Matt, Have you added your ISP's (or any other) nameserver IP in /etc/resolv.conf? Most people will recommend you have at least two listed, in case the first one is unreachable or inoperable. Also, I have each of the inside machines of my LAN using the ISP's nameservers to resolve hostnames at each machine. -Otter -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Matt Rudderham Sent: Sunday, August 13, 2000 6:40 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: DNS Resolution Hi, I have a machine acting as a gateway on a small network. The connected machines can contact the outside internet if they use an IP address, but they cannot do any name resolution. For example if I tell it to go to 204.216.27.18 it will go to the FreeBSD site, but if I tell it to go to FreeBSD.org, it won't go, What can I do to fix this up? Thanks.
