What's in your /etc/ppp/options? Remember diald requires > this to be pretty much empty   It contains the single word lock   Ok.  So if I am dialing in and starting ppp then maybe I have stuffed some of the DNS stuff.  I am running named.  I can ping the login server (203.57.114.129) but I can't ping the ISP's DNS servers (203.13.174.1, 203.13.174.15) and of course any browser action is defunct.  I get error messages from (my) squid saying the cache couldn't resolve the host name or the destination net is unreachable.   DNS was working previously but it is entirely possible that I have edited a config file and stuffed it up.   I am also running ipchains so just to be sure that I'm not blocking any packets - this is for testing purposes only   Chain input (policy ACCEPT): Chain forward (policy ACCEPT): target     prot opt     source                destination          ports MASQ     all  ------  192.168.1.0/24       anywhere              n/a Chain output (policy ACCEPT):   Contents of  /etc/resolv.conf   search wdbc pnc.com.au nameserver 203.13.174.1 nameserver 203.13.174.15 # my server is called eric.wdbc   Contents of /etc/ppp/resolv.conf   nameserver 203.13.174.1 nameserver 203.13.174.15   Contents of /etc/host.conf   order hosts,bind multi on   /etc/hosts is alright so I wont list it here, but yes it contains the names and IP address of the windows workstations and the linux server   Contents of /etc/named.conf   // generated by named-bootconf.pl   options {   query-source address * port 53;   forwarders {203.13.174.1;203.13.174.15;}; };   // // a caching only nameserver config // zone "." {  type hint;  file "named.ca"; };   zone "0.0.127.in-addr.arpa" {  type master;  file "named.local"; };   Are there other files I need to check to get name lookups working??
