RE: Question on FreeBSD name resolution
In /etc I have the file resolv.conf with the single line: nameserver 10.0.0.10 which is my DNS server. I also have a host.conf file with: #Auto-generated from nsswitch.conf, do not edit hosts bind and for reference nsswitch.conf has: hosts: files dns Since I am using DHCP which is on my NT box, I have options set for a WINS server and Node-type of H-Node. I think I know the answer but I'll ask, does this affect FreeBSD's Network configuration in some way? > -Original Message- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:owner-freebsd- > [EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of charles pelletier > Sent: Thursday, September 25, 2003 10:34 AM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Re: Question on FreeBSD name resolution > > You need to create a resolv.conf file.

Re: Question on FreeBSD name resolution
You need to create a resolv.conf file. Your BSD box does not have the required information to be able to resolve ip addresses with FQDNs and it needs to have that information. --charlie _ Get McAfee virus scanning and cleaning of incoming attachments.

I apologize if this is the wrong list, it seemed to be the most appropriate. I want to at least get the machine working so then I can start working through learning the ins and outs. My FreeBSD box is running on a Dell laptop on my home network where I have three other Windows based machines. All of my machines are configured to use another NT-Based firewall as both the default gateway and DNS server, which is connected out to the Internet via cable. I’m using the default network settings that were configured when I installed the system. The network card is configured to use DHCP and when I do an ifconfig I see the Ethernet card has an appropriately assigned IP address & netmask.If I ping a website by it’s DNS name, the name resolves quickly and I get ping responses back pretty quickly (as I would expect). When I use FTP, Telnet, or WWW to try to connect to an address by FQDN, it takes a few minutes to establish the connection. However when I use the associated IP address instead of the FQDN it connects instantly. It seems like the TCP (or at least FTP, WWW & Telnet) programs are having an issue with resolving the name. My guess is that they are timing out through trying to resolve via one means, and therefore then try a DNS resolve. Is there a way to determine the order in which the system currently does name resolution? I looked for the host.conf file in my /etc folder and there was one, but even when I added one in it didn’t help. Hello, You should be looking in your #/etc/resolv.conf . If you don't have one make it. Ryan Merrick ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
