Very Computer

Hi,

fist of all thanks a lot to all how helped me till now with starting a
my little network.
Now I have my two pc's connected via eth0 and it worked fine till now. I
can mount remote fs's and so on. Yesterday I tried to install mamed. It
seems working more or less but I can't connect to Internet anymore.
I have a PPP account with dynamically assigned IP address with my ISP,
an ISDN connection over a Zyxel 2684I.
Dialing is ok, but then it tells me that sioccaddr is unreachable.
I guess that's because I tried with my 'old' ppp-on script, which
assigns a default gateway using the ISP's ip.
Well then, what can I do to use my pc as nameserver for my local
'minilan' and the ISP's nameserver for every request that can't be
resolved?
I have some idea that I have to use 'forwarders' and that stuff, but
that isn't explained in the 'Linux networking administrators guide'.

Please help
thom

Sounds strange .. try to look at the routing table while your doing this
netstat -nr should work good .....

Have you put the defautroute option in your pppd options file ??

I guess that you have to configure your /etc/resolv.conf file like this:

#/etc/resolv.conf
search your_minilan_domain      your_ISP_domain       #I dont remember if this two info must be se
                                                      #parated by a TAB a comma or a space :) sorry
nameserver IP_of_your_nameserver_minilan
nameserver IP_of_your_ISP_nameserver    #primary
nameserver IP_of_your_ISP_nameserver    #secondary .. if it exist ...

I guess you can have a mximum of three nameserver entry in /etc/resolv.conf
