[mohaa] gamespy nightmare!

[Bradley Caricofe]

Ahhh yes, I think it may have been adding entries to resolve.conf that fixed
this for us when we had a similar problem...   =)
    you guys rock!!!!

    I had actually turned off DNS as a security precaution. I didn't figure
nay application that used all IP's would need it - well, I was wrong.
Gamespy resolves to master0.gamespy.com and master1.gamespy.com

    Once I turned BIND back on everything shows up great.

    thanks again for saving me from certain insanity!!!

    Try using nslookup on your box to see if the master gamespy server
resolves
    I think its dns is master0.gamespy.com

    Thanks Kevin. I am familiar with resolve.conf and how it works - im just
not
    sure how it would need to be configured for gamespy to resolve properly?
    could you give me an example? thanks, guys!

    Resolv.conf is used in linux to hold your dns entrys,so that ips can be
    resolved to names

    interesting point. How do you mean, exactly? Im familiar with
resolv.conf.
    but not sure how you mean it should be for gamespy?

    I didn't really read any of the other msgs in this thread. But if you
are
    still having this problem - remember to make sure that you set your
    resolv.conf correctly so that it can resolve the gamespy names.
