Until this point, I had two machines with no internet connectivity at all, so I had no worries as numbers. I used numbers I had found as listed useable for not-connected networks. I called the domain cbr (my initials) and the names journey2 (192.168.64.1) and n3lxx (my ham license, 192.168.64.2). My nameserver had no need to know about the world, and it doesn't. My namedb setup uses db.cbr for the cbr domain. db.127.0.0 for reverse mapping locally, db.192.168.64 for reverse mapping the cbr domain, and db.root for telling about the n3lxx nameserver. I really don't know how to tell the system it should recognize the outside world, while still allowing it to know about the two local machines. nslookup doesn't know about the three nameservers I know about on campus, so it can't query them. How can I set the network up so that it can know about my local machines as well as the world? Do I finally need to register my machines with the NIC? The NIC wouldn't do it before I had connectivity ... ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@eng.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 9120 Edmonston Ct #302 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 (Freebsd 2.0.5-snap-0726) and (301) 220-2114 | n3lxx (FreeBSD 2.0.5-snap-0622) -- Great! ----------------------------+-----------------------------------------------
