[aclug-L] Telnet Problem.

[Curtis Hawthorne <cghawthorne@xxxxxxxxx>]

I finally got a home network working with two machines called
frank.thinktank (server) and buster.thinktank.
On frank I have IP Masq. working and Diald is set up to dial whenever I
need an internet connection.

My problem is:  whenever I telnet (or ftp) from buster to frank, Diald
starts up the link.  I ran tcpdump -i ppp0 on frank and noticed that it was
sending these two packets every time:

21:03:20.394799 216.111.133.33.1028 > 198.243.53.2.domain: 15429+ A?
buster.thinktank. (34)
21:03:20.624799 198.243.53.2.domain > 216.111.133.33.1028: 15429 NXDomain*
0/1/0 (107)

This only happens when I go from buster to frank, but not frank to buster.
What does this mean and how do I fix it?

Thanks!
