Your domain "clasta" needs fixed. This is what gets appended to your
name queries when you don't enter a FQDN. For example, mine is
georgetoft.com, so if I type "ssh router" I get a connection to
router.georgetoft.com (if you find that name does not resolve, it is
because I run two name servers - one for the Internet, one for my LAN).
In your case, you would attempt a connection to router.clasta, which
does not exist (unless you are running your own DNS, which I see you are
not).
On comp B, put in the same nameserver entries as exists on comp A. When
you set up your own DNS, go back and change these - but that's later.
The domain entry on comp A probably should be starnetusa.net. I got
this value by running nslookup:
$ nslookup 216.126.136.250
Server: localhost
Address: 127.0.0.1
Name: ns2.starnetusa.net
Address: 216.126.136.250
This is not that critical. On bellsouth, I didn't even have a domain
entry. On AT&T, I do. Whatever.
Comp B is another story. If you have it, and it's wrong, it can cause
you heartaches (see above).
Once you enter this information on comp B, do this:
$ nslookup yahoo.com
You should get an answer. Then use a browser.
Let us know . . .
Thanks, Matt.
