Hello,


I installed ubuntu with apache web server (no modules loaded yet).

I now have one machine with XP and one machine with ubuntu.
Both maachines direct to the same gateway.

If i configure the gateway and the dns-IP on windows XP with the IP of the ubuntu machine , my internet works just fine. Why is that?


Question 2 relates to the fact that I can remove the dns-IP on the ubuntu machine and internet still works fine with just an IP, mask and gateway. On XP that is def not the case, if you remove the dns-IP there, it simply won't work...ever. Why is that?

Hope someone can come up with a decent answer.

Thanx

1) Check to see if BIND or NAMED (same program) is running on Ubuntu -- it's the DNS server.

2) Do an IPCONIFIG /ALL on your XP box, report the info here pleases.
