* Roger Wilco <freebsd@m2mtechnology.com> [20001208 07:50]: writing on the subject 'configuring the resolver' =>I just installed FreeBSD 4.2 and I can't get it to use the correct name =>server. I created the file /etc/resolve.conf and put my domain and name ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ If your file is really called RESOLVE.CONF then that is where the problem is. The filename is "resolv.conf" - note there is no "e" after the V. =>server's address in it, but when I do anything that involves a DNS lookup it =>queries the local machine. What am I missing? This is a dumb question that I =>should know the answer to but it has always worked out of the box for every =>other installation I have done. -Wash -- Odhiambo Washington Inter-Connect Ltd., wash@iconnect.co.ke 5th Flr Furaha Plaza Tel: 254 11 222604 Nkrumah Rd., Fax: 254 11 222636 PO Box 83613 MOMBASA, KE.
