Re: Re: Internet connection sharing with WinXP: DNS problem
If you want the networking info from winxp just do this. Start->Run->cmd then when the command prompt window pops up type ipconfig /all it will print all windows networking info. Voila you have your nameservers. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

That may work. As Jörg's ISP seems to be T-Online, maybe he should add these nameserver entries to his /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 217.5.115.77 nameserver 194.25.2.129 best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 Registered Linux User #267976 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

You need to put the IP of a nameserver in this file (man 5 resolver). Just find the IP of a nearby DNS server a put in a line like: nameserver www.xxx.yyy.zzz You can use /etc/hosts to locally store host IP information (as you were trying to do for your mail servers). man 5 hosts. Your /etc/hosts file probably has the following on the first line 127.0.0.1 debian localhost This is assuming you did not change the default hostname from "debian". You can add lines with IP addresses and host names after the above line. > But I can ping www.debian.org. This is all strange.

When you enable Internet Connection Sharing in WinXP, it sets up a caching DNS server, DHCP server and NAT.

Well, I think I read somewhere that it sets up an dhcp server for that purpose...I think it was standard dhcp compatible in win2k as far as I remember...
