- And where to set up that nameserver address?
- Look in your AmiTCP/db/resolv.conf file ...
- I had that exact problem after my ISP changed addresses but
- did not change the address of their nameserver.
-
- ;domain names
- DOMAIN myprovider.com
- ;name servers
- NAMESERVER 206.154.169.32
-
- Where the nameserver IP address is different from the ISP IP address.
