I have installed DNSMASQ a few days ago, but at the time, the
service for dnsmasq don't want to run. I use dnsmasq as a
dns-server for my local network, including three other computers.
Every time I tries to start the service, I have one type of error
messages:<br>
<br>

router is FRITZ!Box 7430. The IP from my RASPBERRY-PI
is 192.168.178.3 (static) and the operating system is
a normal Ubuntu.<br>
<br>
Another problem is the file nameserver.conf. The path
of the file is right. But every time I have a look in
the log-file, dnsmasq tries to read the normal
/var/run/dnsmasq/resolv.conf. This file is empty.
Every time, I tried to write something in that file,
the next time the file is going to be overwritten, and
than the resolv.conf is empty. So I have decided to
create an other file with the nameserver.</font></font></font></font></font></font></font><font
