I have a problem with my Pentium PC running BSD 4.3. I set up all the DNS database files for the "named". My machine can "nslookup" the hostnames of our local network but NOT those outside our network, Internet. However, my machine can "ping" both the local and outside hosts on the Internet. I double checked the syntax (I even check the if non- printing characters) of the DNS database files and they are correct. This made me lost. I couldn't figure out what went wrong!!! Can someone kindly help me out of it? I need the solution desparately... Thanks for the attention. -- msust -- Pleasure was all yours...
