Default Gateway problem.

2000-07-19 Thread Elias Athanasopoulos 


Hi,

I have the following network:

A (FreeBSD-CURRENT) - ethernet - B (Linux) - ppp - Internet
 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.1

I have enabled IP Masq. in 'B' and set it as the default gateway
for A, issuing the command below:

[A] $ ifconfig add default 192.168.1.1

When the Internet connection is alive everything is ok. When no
Internet connection exists I cannot make local telnets/ftps from
FreeBSD to Linux, using hostnames instead of raw IP addresses. It seems
that A (FreeBSD) tries to locate the nameservers specified in
/etc/resolv.conf.

My /etc/hosts:
192.168.1.1 B
192.168.1.2 A

My /etc/host.conf:
hosts
bind

Any hints?

Regards,
Elias

Try 'route' instead of 'ifconfig' and you might have better luck.

Oops! Sorry, it was a typo. :-( The command I used is 'route'.
I have no problem with my routing table (which I can show you
if you want).
