 |
|
i'm using a smartlink modem and kppp to connect to the internet - and it works fine for most connections but the problem is: some domain names can't be resolved (by the www-browsers; mail works always fine)
what can i do to access all websites there are?
thx chris
ps: with the lan connection everything is well |

try do a reverse lookup using nslookup/dig/host to see if it is successfully. If failed, that means your dns server is not working properly.

excuse the question: do i have to change the /etc/resolv.conf file? do i have to change the 'search' item in this file?
xhost tries to contact my university LAN dns's - look here
| Code: | tux /home/chris # hostx localhost
localhost.uibk.ac.at A 127.0.0.1
tux /home/chris # hostx tux
tux.uibk.ac.at does not exist (Authoritative answer)
tux /home/chris # hostx www.fcgs.at
www.fcgs.at A record currently not present
tux /home/chris # hostx google.at
google.at A record currently not present
tux /home/chris # hostx web-mail
web-mail.uibk.ac.at A 138.232.1.164
tux /home/chris #

i already tried 'echo /etc/ppp/resolv.conf >>/etc/resolv.conf'...
