I've been frustrated for a long time about a problem I'm having with DNS lookup. The first time I try to initiate internet connection with pppd I consistently receive the following type error:
barry@debian:/etc/ipmasq$ ping pop.mindspring.com ping: unknown host pop.mindspring.com -or- fetchmail: couldn't find canonical DNS name of pop.mindspring.com fetchmail: Query status=11 (DNS) On a second attempt to initiate the connection, the error always goes away. I do believe this is some type of DNS error with pppd, but I'm not adequately knowledgeable about networking & DNS to understand. I'm running Debian 3.0, with 2.2.20, and ppp 2.4.1.uus-4. I'm in the midst of trying to get ipmasq working and I think this problem is preventing from achieving success. I'm a very frustrated newbie. My /etc/resolv.conf file: domain debian nameserver 207.69.188.185 nameserver 207.69.188.186 How can I troubleshoot?
