this just has me curious... my fbsd box runs a standalone name server, setup w/o a problem as describe in Complete FreeBSD book. to see if it really worked i renamed my resolv.conf to something else. i never bothered to change it back. after upgrading the stock netscape loaded from my initial install of fbsd (4.76) to the 4.77 linux version from the ports, netscape refused to use the dns server. every other app i tried (ping, konqueror, gaim, etc) worked fine wit the dns server. replacing the resolv.conf makes netscape happy but i want to know why this is happening. anyone else have this problem? cheers, jim -- I'm currently running FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE which has been up for 2 days as of 06/09/01 05:00:01 PM To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
