Here's a copy of some of my files
"resolv.conf"
domain nubble.light-by-the-sea.com
search nubble.light-by-the-sea.com light-by-the-sea
nameserver 127.0.0.1
#nameserver 207.69.188.185
#nameserver 207.69.188.186
#search domain.com
"resolv.conf" end--
The two nameservers commented out above are my ISP's. I commented them
out while experimenting with the problem.
"hosts"
#
# /etc/hosts
#
# This file contains the hostnames and their address for hosts in the
# network. This file is used to resolve a hostname into an Internet
# address.

# Internet Address Hostname # Comments

# 128.100.0.1 token0sample # token ring name/address
# 10.2.0.2 x25sample # x.25 name/address
127.0.0.1 localhost nubble.light-by-the-sea

192.168.0.3 hatteras hatteras.light-by-the-sea.com
192.168.0.1 nubble nubble.light-by-the-sea.com
"hosts" end---
"host.conf"
order hosts,bind
multi on
"host.conf" end---
I set up this network sometime ago and am failing the alzimers test
when trying to remember the little I knew. I am reading the HOWTO's and
Geotrakers excellent archives. But I still don't understand much of what
I read. Thanks for taking the time to assist me..
