hi: I am using dynamic ppp connect to my ISP. While I can surf the net but I have problem regarding of name resolving or whatever. For example I can ping the ftp.debian.org but can't ftp to the same site with dot name notation.
< ping is ok > $ ping ftp.debian.org PING ftp.debian.org (141.209.21.21): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 141.209.21.21: icmp_seq=0 ttl=239 time=396.8 ms 64 bytes from 141.209.21.21: icmp_seq=1 ttl=239 time=330.4 ms < ftp with dot name notation; failed > $ ftp ftp.debian.org ftp: ftp.debian.org: Unknown server error ftp> < ftp with IP address; ok > $ ftp 141.209.21.21 Connected to 141.209.21.21. 220 bugs.cps.cmich.edu FTP server (Version wu-2.4(1) Thu Oct 5 18:54:30 EDT 1995) ready.
