I'm going away later today for the weekend, so don't hurry. ;-)

I think that's just what i did before. I removed the domain-name and
domain-name-server entries from the request and require entries, so it
shouldn't be transmitted anymore.

I did a workaround with a supersede entry, but that's an ugly way. Don't
like that and would still try to figure out whats going on.

I have a tiny dns server on the fli4l router. But since the connection
between the airbase and the router is a static one (there is no dhcp
deamon on the router) i wonder how the airbase should get informed about
it. If the problem is really that the airbase is sending this outdated
information, then I wonder when did it get it and how? And why doesn't
it update itself?

Also rebooting the airbase didn't help much.

The routers address is 192.168.1.10. The airbase is 192.168.1.1 on the
router side and 10.0.1.1 on the wireless side. The thinkpad is 10.0.1.3.
I found out that the airbase is capable of learning some stuff from the
net (like giving same ips to same nics and such) and also it seams to do
a NAT (which is bad, but for the time being i have to live with that).

So far...
Andre.
