I've been reconfiguring my system (Amiga 3000) in the process of
upgrading to netbsd1.1. Everything seems to be working, but I can't
seem to get my ppp connection to recognize the name server address my
internet provider uses.
I needed to totally reconfigure my NetBSD HD partitions so I started from
scratch instead of trying to upgrade. I backed up everything in /etc
and restored the files after I had 1.1 up and running. I can establish
a PPP connection but the name resolution no longer works.
I recompiled the kernel with the following options
#
# Networking options
#
options INET # IP networking support (Required)
#options ISO # ISO Networking support
#options TPIP # ARGO TP networking support
#options CCITT # CCITT X.25
#options NS # Xerox XNS
#options EON # ISO CLNL over IP
options GATEWAY # Packet forwarding >>>> I added this <<<<
#options DIRECTED_BROADCAST # Broadcast across subnets
#options NSIP # XNS over IP
...
#pseudo-device sl # slip >>> I took this out <<<
pseudo-device ppp # ppp
pseudo-device view 10 # views
pseudo-device pty 16 # pseudo terminals
pseudo-device loop # network loopback
#pseudo-device bpfilter 2 # berkeley packet filters
#pseudo-device tun 2
--------------------------
still no luck.
Is there something I took out that I shouldn't have or something that
I should have added back in that I didn't?
Any ideas on what might be happening would be appreciated.
