[NTLUG:Discuss] ...a little more on AT&T as it stands...

[Swapan Sarkar]

Thanks very much, you were right when you pointed out
to my resolv.conf file. The ones in 192.168.1.X subnet
had the old resolv.conf file whereas the MASQ/NAT was
updated by DHCP config script. Is there a way to
automatically point the rest of the resolv.conf files
to the values in the MASQ/NAT server ?

Thanks
