3.11. Coyote Linux and different ISP[id=clisp]

I have not yet encountered an ISP that didn't work with Coyote Linux. Please tell me if you know of one.

This is list of ISP's that I know work well with Coyote Linux

• Nextgentel, Norway

• Tele2 ADSL Privat, Norway

• Tele2 ADSL Bedrift, Norway

• UPC Chello Classis, Norway

• Utdanningsetaten (The Department of Education) in Oslo (Not yet tested on InnsIKT-schools)

  Due to a strange network policy at the Department of Education in Oslo, you must make the following changes at your mainserver:

  In the file /etc/bind/named.conf change the following stanza:

          // forwarders {
          // By special request from the good people inside the Dept of Education in
          // Oslo:
          //      193.156.192.40;
          //      193.156.192.50;
          // Dept. of Education in Oslo  end of block
          //      0.0.0.0;
          // };
  
  

  change it to

             forwarders {
          // By special request from the good people inside the Dept of Education in
          // Oslo:
                  193.156.192.40;
                  193.156.192.50;
          // Dept. of Education in Oslo end of block
          //      0.0.0.0;
             };
  
  

  That means removing the comment-slashes in front of forwarders.

  If you don't do this, you will not be able to connect to the Internet due to DNS problems, and some BSD-network guy at the Department of Education will bite your head off.

  After you have made this change in /etc/bind/named.conf, you must restart bind, with

  /etc/init.d/bind9 restart

• Telenor ADSL, Norway

• Høgskolen i Oslo (Oslo College)

  You must make the same bind changes as with the Department of Education Oslo,/etc/bind/named.conf
