Search Again: Re: Can you use 4.6 with 3.5 From: Paul Willis Date: Friday, March 19, 2004 Time: 6:52:42 pm Hi OK I think I understand what is happening now. On OS X things are slightly more complicated than OS 9... QuickDNS Manager connects to QuickDNS Central, QuickDNS Central in turn connects to QuickDNS Remote QuickDNS Remote connects to the copy of QuickDNS server on the same machine In your case your QuickDNS manager is connecting to QuickDNS Central ok which reports that it doesn't have any servers listed, but when you try to add one QuickDNS Central cannot connect to QuickDNS Remote. Does your QuickDNS server have QuickDNS Remote installed and running as well as the actual QuickDNS server software? Regards Paul On 20 Mar 2004, at 02:17, Ross F.
