Hi Levi,

Are you using mac68k BSD on an iMac ? ( because I have to go through my iMac
running IPNetRouter) or are you using some connexion between your NetBSD box
(unknown computer) and your (PowerPC) iMac ?

Not sure what you are doing and curious on how you're trying to do it (what
connexion between both computers ?)

I don't think I'm running a name server. All I have in my resolv.conf is the
IPs of my ISPs DNS servers. Which might be whats going on, because I have to
go through my iMac running IPNetRouter to get to the internet. Maybe my host
files not settup correctly. I've not gottend to to look at that
documentation that someone posted on this subject yet. Maybe that will fix
it.
