Hi Bob,
That's what I don't understand, the frames are addressed to servers other
than what is listed in resolv.conf. In fact it is sending these DNS queries
to several different DNS none of which are listed in resolv.conf.
The DNS queries are UDP frames and are being sent constantly. These frames
are only generated by PC2, my main PC (PC1) is behaving normally. Since my
link to the gateway is via RF this is wasting a lot of bandwidth, I just
assume turn it off if I can. Thanks in advance for your advice!
73 for now de Paul.
