Hi ! I have a big problem with the name resolving in my tiny network:
One of my computers (debian, woody with no update since ages, named "marvin", ip 192.168.42.99 ) connects via dial up (analog modem) to the internet. On this computer, everything works fine. My "domain" is called "galaxy.home" (you get the picture ;) ) My other to linux boxes ("eddie", 192.168.42.103, slightly newer woody and "zaphod", 192.168.42.102, woody as on marvin) use marvin as a gateway to the internet: Eddie: # route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default Marvin.galaxy.h 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 Eddie: # cat /etc/resolv.conf search galaxy.home domain galaxy.home nameserver 192.168.42.99 Until yesterday, everything worked fine. But now, on both eddie and zaphod name resolving doesn't work anymore :( [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > ping www.fhm.edu ping: unknown host www.fhm.edu [EMAIL PROTECTED]: > ping 129.187.244.84 PING 129.187.244.84 (129.187.244.84): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 129.187.244.84: icmp_seq=0 ttl=251 time=181.3 ms 64 bytes from 129.187.244.84: icmp_seq=1 ttl=251 time=164.4 ms --- 129.187.244.84 ping statistics --- 2 packets transmitted, 2 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 164.4/172.8/181.3 ms I am quite sure I didn't change anything on eddie, rock-solid sure I didn't change anything on marvin and zaphod. Now the really annoying thing: I have one WinNT box which uses marvin as gateway as well. Now guess: there everything works just fine :( Unfortunately I am far away from beeing a network guru but need the internet access urgently. Can you please help me: BIG thanks ! -- Markus Grunwald Registered Linux User Nr 101577 http://counter.li.org http://www.grunwald.2xs.de
