As in the earlier message. pe...@joule:~$ cat /etc/resolv.conf # Dynamic resolv.conf(5) file for glibc resolver(3) generated by resolvconf(8) # DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE BY HAND -- YOUR CHANGES WILL BE OVERWRITTEN nameserver 127.0.0.1 search pi.shawcable.net /etc/dnsmasq.conf is visible here. http://members.shaw.ca/peasthope/dnsmasq.conf Almost all comments. Exactly as installed if I'm not mistaken. Certainly no upstream server is specified. The system must get the ISP addresses by dhcp; but where are they hidden? > A "dig +trace debian.org" should display your upstream dns servers. That's helpful. I also did "dig +trace google.ca"; results appended. Appears that dnsmasq referred to 192.33.4.12#53 and 193.0.14.129#53 upstream. Incidentally, what is the "search domain", "pi.shawcable.net" in this case? Another observation: since a security update of the Lenny system, about a month back, it doesn't know its own name. pe...@joule:~$ telnet joule telnet: could not resolve joule/telnet: Name or service not known pe...@joule:~$ Whereas "telnet localhost" works. Appears that the security broke something. I'm thinking of purging and reinstalling some packages, beginning with dnsmasq. Does anyone have a better idea? Thanks, ...
