Hello Richard, If you (restart) the dnsmasq daemon, do you see the follwing lines in /var/log/daemon.log?
...... May 7 21:50:07 firewall dnsmasq[29611]: read /etc/hosts - 12 addresses May 7 21:50:07 firewall dnsmasq[29611]: reading /etc/dhcpc/resolv.conf ...... Also, how do you ping the firewall? By FQDN (so firewall.<domain part>) If you want to ping the firewall by just the "short" name, you have to enable the following option in dnsmasq.conf # Set this (and domain: see below) if you want to have a domain # automatically added to simple names in a hosts-file. expand-hosts domain=private.network Eric > Hello, > My Bering-uClibc firewall is mostly working in my test set-up, except > that nodes on my LAN cannot access the firewall by name (default > "firewall").
