Duvall) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Problems with machine being recognized by remote hosts Date: 15 Nov 1995 07:02:52 GMT Organization: Atlatl Corporation. Damascus MD, USA Lines: 10 Message-ID: <48c3as$bd@news.cais.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: aztec.atlatl.com X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] I can't seem to get remote machines to recognize my name address, they only seem to get my IP address. When I telnet to other machines from the machines at school, the remote system recognizes them as 'umbc10.umbc.edu' or whatever, when I connect to remote systems it recognizes me as 205.177.8.202, nslookup on 205.177.8.202 returns my name machines name address and nslookup on my machine returns the correct IP address, what needs to be done to have remote machines deal with my incoming connection as duvall-ppp.atlatl.com instead of 205.177.8.202?
