[comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc] ka9q still not resolving names

opschk@GANGES.UCOP.EDU (04/23/91)

I can ftp and ping other hosts provided I use IP adresses.
This is my autoexec.net: (essentially, it's a modified version of Dan Ellison's)

hostname grumpy.ucop.edu
attach packet 0x65 nt1 3 1500

ifconfig nt1 netmask 0xffffff00 ip 128.48.103.18 broadcast 128.48.103.255

route add 128.48.103.0/24 nt1
route add default nt1
#
# incorporate the local nameserver for lookups
#
domain addserver [128.48.100.91]  #nile
#
# for broadcasts to work!
#
arp add 128.48.103.255 ether ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
# some standard parameters

ip ttl 16
tcp mss 216
tcp window 1500
#
# start up the servers
#
start telnet
start smtp
start ftp
start echo
start discard
start rip
#
# start up rip hosts, seed from the backbone router and then pass on
# everything that we learn!
#
rip request 128.48.100.91
rip add 128.48.100.91 60		# refresh must be less than 3 minutes


128.48.100.91 is the nameserver running named, so I added the following
command:
route add 128.48.100.91 nt1 128.48.103.75 # 128.48.103.75 is the gateway of
					# the 103 subnet

Still, it's not relving names. Any clues??

Also, does anybody know how to change the LOCAL directory with ka9q ftp,
it looks like it has no lcd command .


			Many Thanks in Advance

Hello, you must create a file called "domain.txt" which contains lines
in the following format:

<hostname_or_alias>    IN     A  <ip_addr>

It uses this file to resolve hostnames. It must be in the root directory
or the directory you start ka9q from using the -d option.

To change local directory, just hit f10 to return to command mode, then 
type: "cd /newdir" to change. Then hit return to go back to your session
all gets and puts now go from/to the dir you changed to.
