Subject: Windows registry lookups fail
Windows registry lookup of nameservers and searchlist fails on this machine (Win2K). HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip\parameters\nameserver is empty here. The value is found in HKLM\system\currentcontrolset\services\tcpip\parameters\interfaces\{string_looks_like_it_may_be_a_mac_address}\nameserver Problem is in the res_init_microsoft() code in Net\DNS\Resolver.pm E:\>perl -v This is perl, v5.6.1 built for MSWin32-x86-multi-thread (with 1 registered patch, see perl -V for more detail)

Subject: Environment variables (eg RES_NAMESERVERS) not used under Windows
The environmental variables, such as RES_NAMESERVERS, used by Net::DNS are not read under Windows. This prevents using environment variables as a work around for bugs 1191 and 1819. This patch to Net::DNS::Resolver.pm corrects the problem: 222c222,224 < --- Show quoted text

You should be aware that windows support is currently known to be broken, and until a windows user comes up and fixes it, it will most likely continue to be broken. I've applied your change. -- Chris Reinhardt ctriv@dyndns.org Systems Architect Dynamic DNS Network Services http://www.dyndns.org/
