Hi Ian, These two addresses are the DNS addresses of my ISP.So there is nothing that I think that I will have to do in there.When the packets comes from my IntIF,gets passed on to the ExtIf which then resolves the query by looking up at the DNS servers that I have listed.As a matter of fact the router also has the same configuartion of the DNS servers.Is there any thing else you feel thats going wrong?Pls do let me know.At the moment I have stopped logging messges on my console just to get a jist of the whole thing.
