If the IP address of the FreeBSD end of the ppp link is not listed as an A record for your nameserver, then the Win95 box could be ignoring the replies it gets. Solutions: list all possible IP addresses as A records, but then if an interface goes down, some queries won't get throught; or use the ed0 address on ppp interfaces (easiest). But really, you should upgrade to 2.1.6 (or hang out for a week and go for 2.1.6.1). Danny
