Hi. I'm enjoying setting up a 486 with Oxygen as a router for my home
network. I wanted to set up dnscache on the machine since my isp's name
servers seem kind of slow sometimes and that seems to work pretty well. For
the internal side I just listed my machines (only two of them so far, more
later) in /etc/resolv.conf. So the machines can ping each other by number
or name, I can browse the web from my desktop machine using the router as a
nameserver. However, when I try to run nslookup on my desktop I get: 

*** Can't find server name for address 192.168.1.1: Non-existent
host/domain
*** Default servers are not available

192.168.1.1 is the router, 192.168.1.2 is the desktop, the internet side of
the router is assigned by dhcp.

Am I getting this error because I need an internal name server? Seems
strange that nslookup would need a name for the name server itself.

Thanks for any suggestions.

-Steve
