Just ignore the message.  It will work anyway.  This is one of those
irritants in porting Unix code.  Unix wants to set up a separate input stream,
but it's really not needed. On NT Ctrl-Z will terminate the input. Or you can
put in your updates in a file and reference the file on the command line.
I should probably figure out a way to suppress it, but I've been too busy
with other issues.

         You need at least one nameserver IP address in it and better two. It
should look like:
domain fdma.com
nameserver 216.241.67.73
nameserver 207.18.92.26
nameserver 216.36.90.98

(I'm using your own domain as an example here). The resolv.conf file doesn't
get set up on Win2K because Microsoft moved the location of the nameserver
IP addresses in the Registry and it would take some work to figure it out how
to redo it in the code. WinNT 4.0 doesn't have this problem and it can pick up
the info from the registry.

         No.  It's not a configuration issue.  See above.
