What did I screw up?
I messed up some configuration, somewhere, and I hope that someone can tell
me what it was.
I have a 2 computer network. An older Pentium which I use as a gateway to
the net, since it has a hardware modem in it, and my new Athlon which is
what I actually use (which has a winmodem and no slots for legacy HW such as
my olddem). The two are on an ethernet network.
I have a menu option which telnets from the Athlon to the Pentium and dials
in from there. I can then access the net from the Athlon. At least I could
until this afternoon.
I am runnin Sarge, BTW, but just updated jpilot and jpilot-syncmal on the
Athlon from unstable. Nothing else was updated, and only libmal0 and
libpisock were additionally installed, so that sould not affect anything
else. No changes were made on the Pentium.
I also uninstalled a few unneeded packages from the Athlon: tix8.1, nethack,
nethack-x11, nethack-common, mozilla-firebird, lincity, lftp, isdnutils,
isdnutils-xtools, isdnutils-base, isdnvnoxclient, isdnvboxserver, isdnlog,
isdnlog-data, and ipppd. Again, nothing that should affect my ability to et
to the net.
Now, however, if I dial in and then try to access anything on the net from
the Athlon, I get DNS resolution errors. I can not access ANYTHING! If I
telnet to the Pentium, then I can get out without any apparent problems.
What config file(s) have I messed up? I'm sure that this is simple to fix,
once I determine what I accidentally messed up.
Any help appreciated.
