Orinoco-Airport-DNS problem

[yellowdog-newbie@lists.terrasoftsolutions.com]

You will have to configure the DHCP server on the Access Point (Airport) to
send the correct nameservers to its DHCP clients. The Airport documentation
should tell you how to do that. Make sure your wireless interface on
Powerbook G3 is using DHCP.

Subject: Orinoco-Airport-DNS problem


Hi!

I just installed YDL 3.0 on my old Powerbook G3 (Wallstreet) and have 
been trying to get networking to go. I'm using an Orinoco Wireless card 
to try to connect to an Airport network.
I've managed to get the PCMCIA modules loaded, and networking works, 
with one glaring exception. DNS lookup doesn't work. The problem seems 
to be that the basestation doesn't communicate the correct IP address 
for the DNS server. The resolv.config file lists the DNS server as 
10.0.0.1, the IP address of the base station. If I change the 
resolv.config file to the one I got while connecting the DSL line 
directly to the Ethernet port (a configuration under which networking 
works flawlessly), DNS lookup works. So somewhere along the line, the 
IP address of the DNS server doesn't get passed along.

How do I correct this problem?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks.

Arne
