For our internal network I am using class C reserved IP addresses (192.9.202.*) and connected to the internet by dial up ppp line (user ppp). I have set DNS in cache/slave/forwarder configuration.

I get the following message: *** Can't find server name for address 192.9.202.1: Server failed *** Default servers are not available It is trying to resolve 192.9.202.1 from the DNS forwarders. How to I get it to resolve 192.9.202.1 as a valid name from its own resources. TIA Kevin Shinpaugh kas@fnstech.bevb.blacksburg.va.us Fiber & Sensor Technologies
