I cannot access a host even though it exists. (None of the TCP/IP tools work.) yunching@Ami-chan:~% nslookup www.bcc.com.tw Server: NETSERVER.ANDREW.CMU.EDU Address: 128.2.35.50 Non-authoritative answer: Name: BCC_WWW.BCC.COM.TW Address: 203.69.33.1 Aliases: www.bcc.com.tw yunching@Ami-chan:~% ping www.bcc.com.tw ping: unknown host www.bcc.com.tw yunching@Ami-chan:~% uname -a FreeBSD Ami-chan.res.cmu.edu 2.2-CURRENT FreeBSD 2.2-CURRENT #0: Fri Sep 20 09:52:56 EDT 1996 root@Ami-chan.res.cmu.edu:/usr/src/sys/compile/KERNEL05 i386 I am running FreeBSD-2.2-CURRENT supped and built on Sep 20. I was running 080196-SNAP, and it was working before. I am not aware of any other hostname that will cause this problem. For the short term, I will just put the hostname and IP in /etc/hosts, but I would appreciate a more long-term solution. Please cc: me any suggestion this problem, as I'm not on questions list.
