anyone got some pointers on DNS setup? I do not have a network, but
understand that a DNS server is required for proper operation of PPP .
I have setup ppp server so i can dial in from work. i have been able to
configure a local cache nameserver using localhost 127.0.0.1,
naturally windows95 does not allow 127.x.x.x address in thier dial-up
networking config, so i added a lan ip address i saw in some how-to :
172.16.0.1 and then ppp would work as far as connecting but still have
no DNS .......anytime i try to point my web browser on the ms machine to
the server (the linux box) it reports host not found. actually the only
address the w95 machine would ever ask for is the name of the host.
btw: outbound ppp works fine using kppp which writes my isp's dns
addresses to resolv.conf
