name resolving doesn't work
Hi !
I have a big problem with the name resolving in my tiny network:
One of my computers (debian, woody with no update since ages, named
"marvin", ip 192.168.42.99 ) connects via dial up (analog modem) to the
internet. On this computer, everything works fine.
My "domain" is called "galaxy.home" (you get the picture ;) )
My other to linux boxes ("eddie", 192.168.42.103, slightly newer woody
and "zaphod", 192.168.42.102, woody as on marvin) use marvin as a
gateway to the internet:
Eddie: # route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 eth0 default Marvin.galaxy.h 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0
0 eth0
Eddie: # cat /etc/resolv.conf
search galaxy.home
domain galaxy.home
nameserver 192.168.42.99
Until yesterday, everything worked fine. But now, on both eddie and
zaphod name resolving doesn't work anymore :(
markus@Eddie: > ping www.fhm.edu
ping: unknown host www.fhm.edu
markus@Eddie: > ping 129.187.244.84

I am quite sure I didn't change anything on eddie, rock-solid sure I
didn't change anything on marvin and zaphod.
Now the really annoying thing: I have one WinNT box which uses marvin as
gateway as well. Now guess: there everything works just fine :(
Unfortunately I am far away from beeing a network guru but need the
internet access urgently.
Can you please help me: BIG thanks !
