what's in your resolv.conf? what's in your nsswitch.conf for 'hosts'? Do you get a dhcp address on your home lan? Did you setup the dhcp server? Is it serving up 'option domain-name-servers'? You may have to set that by dhcp as well (add the line in your dhcp.conf:
option domain-name-servers <ip>,<ip>; glen -----Original Message----- From: Dan Radovsky [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, October 09, 2001 04:21 PM To: [email protected] Subject: problem reaching remote server Up until last week I've had no problems connecting to the internet on my debian 2.2r3/toshiba laptop via eth0 using a dhcp client with my home dsl. But since I began using ppp to make a dialup connection at my office (which works just fine), I just cannot now get a remote server whenever I connect to the dsl. I can ping to my gateway dsl router and beyond, as long as I know the dotted quad address. But any names just don't get resolved. I've check every resolv.conf I can find, but they all seem to be okay. I'm somewhat confident it's just a configuration thing -- but I wouldn't bet my life on it. Any hints?
