Re: Newbie from NT exim question



Thank you for your answer, but..

There was no file resolve.conf in /etc, so I created one with the following
entries
search mydomain.ch
nameserver 164.128.36.34
nameserver 164.128.76.39

I did not mention an important fact: We are hosting Web server (apache) and
mail server (exim), but the nameservers are external. After having created
the resolve.conf file, I simply ifdown -a, then ifup -a to reset everything
and tried a ping to www.ibm.com (we know for sure they are up...). Result:
host unknown and no try to go to the Internet (I have a separate line and
router for this test config) to lookup DNS.

I am surely missing something somewhere.

If you can give me a clue to "where to strat looking" I will be really
pleased.
