Hi, I have a Compaq Evo N610c Laptop and installed with
5.2.1 release, The Modem is a Lucent winmodem , I've installed comm/ltmdm and config /etc/ppp/ppp.conf as
follow,
--/etc/ppp/ppp.conf-
....
enable dns
....
----
and I run #ppp -ddial myISP and check /var/log/ppp/log everything is Ok , but when I do
#cvsup -g -L2 /etc/ports-supfile
it output:
Name Lookup fail for cvsup.freebsd.org, host name lookup failed will retry at.blah-blah
So, your ISP's servers aren't giving you any DNS information, or else FreeBSD isn't paying attention when it does... <?>
If you call nslookup(1), what is the result? If you aren't running a local nameserver, and you're not getting any response, you should probably get an error there, too.
Another possibility is that you have no real connectivity at all ... something which you haven't addressed. Can you ping by IP address? Maybe yahoo.com, which a moment ago was at 66.94.234.13 ?
--the question is should I comment out "enable dns"
in /etc/ppp/ppp.conf to make it not check nameserver
, cause when I dailed from windows ,I just need the ISP's phone number and user/pass everything is OK.
I just wanna dial to web when I'm at home, so I don't
know how to config /etc/resolv.conf, cause this is just a stand alone laptop and the Ip was dynamic allocated by my ISP, and I pick up the phone an
heard "ZzzzZzz", which means I've dialed onto web,
and nslookup show me the same problem,
thanks in advances,
whatluo,
If it is simply a DNS problem, adding the IP addresses of your ISP's nameservers to /etc/resolv.conf would be a valid workaround. I don't know why DNS wouldn't be working otherwise, *unless* you actually aren't connected as I noted above. "I pick up the phone an heard 'ZzzzZzz'" isn't necessarily an indication of a successful PPP connection IMHO....
