I understand. I'm baffled, though, what IP numbers have to do CDROMs. > > What IP did you give for your nic? Two network interface cards: one for the outside world, which has pppoe running on it through a DSL modem, and whose IP number is supposed to be irrelevant (and which I suspect has been set to 10.0.0.10 by some agent in the Mandrake installation code), and one for the LAN, which is 172.25.1.1. The IP number that the pppoe link provides is fixed as 216.138.195.194, but of course that's only valid after the link is up. Right now I don't have a DNS running on Mandrake yet. Do you know of any way to give a different IP number for topoi,pooq.com for users on the LAN and users fron the rest of the world? Or dous routing somehow automatically know LAN packets for 216.138.195.194 hav arrived when the arrive at 172.25.1.1 and don't have to visit the other interface? Anyway, the proper IP number for topoi.pooq.com is 216.138.195.194, although local users can use 172.25.1.1 -- hendrik > > > /etc/resolv.conf > > > > nameserver 204.101.251.1 > > nameserver 209.226.175.223 > > > > I don't recognise these nameservers. > > > Could they be your isp's dns? No. They aren't. I wonder where they came from. Mind you, one of them may have been my ISP's DNS a long while ago; they have recently suffered a merger, and they DNSes they tell me about now are different from anything I've got configures anywhere on any OS. So this is definitely something to change. I'll probably have some time tomorrow to try out all this stuff. -- hendrik > > Anne > -- > Registered Linux User No.293302 > > > Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? > Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
