Title: Hostname problem WinXP-OZ 3.5.1
Post by: acpkendo on November 15, 2004, 01:54:39 pm

I'm having a problem with an internet connection with OZ 3.5.1 via a Win XP box.  I have Internet connection sharing set, with a 192.168.1.114 on the desktop's Ethernet interface, 192.168.0.1 on the desktop's USB interface, and 192.168.0.2 on the Z's USB interface.  The gateway is 192.168.1.1.  From the Z, I can ping the WinXP box.  I can ping the gateway.  I can even ping the internet by IP address (so I assume routing is all correct).

What I can't do is get and DNS queries to work.  When I try to ping www.google.com, I get a "hostname lookup failure."  Given that I can even ping the DNS server (I have the gateway configured as the first one under the Network app, and the actual Internet DNS server as the second), I figure I must be doing something else wrong.  I noticed that I don't have an /etc/resolv.conf file--how does OZ handle domain resolution (i.e., how does the resolvconf package work)?

TIA. . .

/etc/resolv.conf

This file needs to be created iirc; its omission is a mistake.

And its format is

Code: [Select]

nameserver 123.123.123.123
nameserver 123.123.123.124
replace 123.123.123.12X with your dns server (you can find it by clicking on your network connection in XP and viewing status then details - something like that, it's easy to find anyway)
