it was already described here under the subject 'connection failure' about a
week ago and I really thought this will fix my problem .. but it doesn't!
When I use nslookup on the Linux box, the name server on this box auto
forwards the request to a 'real' name server at my ISP. This request
triggers a dial out to the ISP. While the modems are negotiating, I can see
the UDP package waiting when I monitor with 'diald-top'.
As soon as the modems have done their job and there is a proper connection,
the UDP package (actually there are 2 in the meantime) are dropped and a
while later, the original 'nslookup' tells me it can't access the name
server. Now, the connection is there and the next time I start nslookup it
will find the ISP's name server and resolve the name.
The solution for this seems to be setting the variable
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_dynaddr with ie. 7. I did this 'echo 7 > /proc...' and
I checked the contents with cat /proc ...
BUT: it does NOT work???
There is another diald option '-buffer-packets' which I tried for this but
it also didn't help. Where is that option for? I don't understand this.
Any clues?

Michael Doerner
