RE: problem reaching remote server
what's in your resolv.conf?
what's in your nsswitch.conf for 'hosts'?
Do you get a dhcp address on your home lan? Did you setup the dhcp server?
Is it serving up 'option domain-name-servers'? You may have to set that by
dhcp as well (add the line in your dhcp.conf:
option domain-name-servers <ip>,<ip>;

Subject: problem reaching remote server
Up until last week I've had no problems connecting to the internet on my
debian 2.2r3/toshiba laptop via eth0 using a dhcp client with my home dsl.
But
since I began using ppp to make a dialup connection at my office (which
works
just fine), I just cannot now get a remote server whenever I connect to the
dsl. I can ping to my gateway dsl router and beyond, as long as I know the
dotted quad address. But any names just don't get resolved. I've check every
resolv.conf I can find, but they all seem to be okay. I'm somewhat confident
it's just a configuration thing -- but I wouldn't bet my life on it. Any
hints?
Thanks,
Dan Radovsky
