Dear Wes
Still no luck with DNS & Netcom. They are sooooo very helpful...
Sometimes I feel like I'm up a bitstream without a paddle....Of all the
stuff I've done so far this is the toughest. I am enclosing a copy of the
followinf files in the hope that your tained eye will spot the error(s):
/etc/named.boot
/etc/named.root
/etc resolv.conf
plus the two files we created --
/etc/namedb/fifth-avenue.com
/etc/namedb/fifth-avenue.com.rev
Also including herein --
/etc/hosts
/etc/resolv.conf
And finally, the line in inetd that runs named
In answer to your suggestion using nslookup -- the TCP route is fine ,
i.e., we can ping out anywhere, but nslookuo returns with an error 0 (no
error) message. Here's my particular
QUESTION OF THE DAY
Since we are using Netcom as primary and secondary DNS, where in the
above files to we put THEIR IP address and where do we put OUR LOCAL
addresses? I think we are confused by reading O'Reilly who assumes we are
acting as our own DNS. I mean I just don't understand how we can be a DNS
-- wouldn't we have to keep all the IP address for the net on our
machine? Or do we still go out and connect to a nameserver somewhere? But
that's the
QUESTION FOR THE MORROW
We WILL be acting as our own DNS at some point...but for now, if you can
look at the files and help us place the right info in the right
places... I just think that our local host IP address needs to be in
there somewhere and I've tried all the permutations I can think of.
