Hi,
I went in and messed with my lan today when I ran
netstat while doing telnet from the machine that was
taking forever it showed the ips nameserver address
instead of the machines address. I replaced resolv.conf
with an empty file then telneting out and ftping in worked
properly. Put the nameserver lines back in long delays.
That machine has to have the isp nameserver addresses in
resolv.conf and a default gw so it can use masquarading
to access the web through a firewall to pick up email.
The other machine does not need to access the web so
no nameserver lines in resolv.conf. I thought host.conf
and now I am learning nsswitch.conf insured that it would
look at hosts first, but it isn't working that way.
How do I go about fixing this without losing the ability
to use the ISP nameserver to pickup mail?
Thanks
Linda
