dial-up airport == bad
Authored by: Desdicardo on Jun 03, '02 07:28:03PM

This is the most annoying problem I have encountered since I bought
my mac. I have a TiBook and an Airport base station. I can't get
broadband so I have the Airport set up to connect via dial-up. This
problem occurs whenever I am not dialed in; i.e. 80% of the time. I
have to religiously turn off the airport whenever I am not connected.
I find this rather ironic since I switched to wireless for the
convenience... its turned out to be anything but.

I am currently in the process of setting up a local FreeBSD gateway.
I'm hoping if I can run a local caching name server NetInfo will
behave itself.

I'm running a local FreeBSD box here and if you set it up as a caching DNS then it will indeed solve your NetInfo login problems. I'm personally running qdns.

Correction - I'm using 'pdnsd'. Don't ask me where I got qdns from...!
