Strange name resolving issuses... When I type: heaven# nslookup wallnet.com Server: cpe3.maestro.njit.edu Address: 128.235.198.4 Name: wallnet.com Address: 208.225.162.122 All is well, but when I type: heaven# ping wallnet.com I get: ping: cannot resolve wallnet.com: Unknown host The IP address of this machine is 192.168.0.64 and shares the private subnet with 2 other machines (one Win2k, one Linux) that can ping the outside world with no apparent problem. The FreeBSD box can get to the internet via IP addresses, just fine; it just can't resolve names. /etc/resolv.conf has valid Nameserver entries; I'm about out of ideas The OS is: 4.6-STABLE (as of Wednesday afternoon). I'd appreciate any thoughts. Tim Kellers CPE/NJIT To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
