Hi there,

I used to have a problem running the FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 machine as a
gateway.  After I switched over to FreeBSD 2.0, I can now see the
outside world from the PC's internal to the network.  The FreeBSD
is running PPP to our service provider.

After I switched over to FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, the system no longer can
act as a name server.

The situation is if I do not start PPP, the system can function as
a name server for internal machines.  Once I started the PPP, the
name server no longer respond.  After a while, it reports that it
can not find the name server.  Anyone has similar problem?

Because of this problem, our mail can not be delivered.

Thanks,

Chie-Jin
