Um, this was not very clear to me. I gathered that I must: 1) have in my network setup knowledge about the ISP's DNS addresses. OR 2) If the gateway acts as a local caching nameserver, I have to use my IP as DNS address. Where could I find out about these two situations? Is the choise of 1 or 2 up to me, or does it depend upon the ISP? > > Alexander > -- > Alexander Dalloz | Enger, Germany | GPG http://pgp.mit.edu 0xB366A773 > legal statement: http://www.uni-x.org/legal.html > Fedora Core 2 GNU/Linux on Athlon with kernel 2.6.11-1.35_FC2smp > Serendipity 18:35:13 up 1:27, 18 users, 0.26, 0.17, 0.17 > Thank you Alex!
