X-Sender: flaw@mail.vt.edu To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Message-id: <4.3.0.20000911033643.00b36870@mail.vt.edu> MIME-version: 1.0 X-Mailer: QUALCOMM Windows Eudora Version 4.3 Content-type: text/plain; format=flowed; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I started a shell with no problem and it has connectivity. But after some time, it suddenly loses connectivity. It seems it can't find the DNS server on my network. But it can also be a routing problem. I need to do a dnsquery to my DNS server or a ping (or a mixture of both) to get it working again. I do have three nameserver entries in resolv.conf. Can anyone give me a clue please?
