Ok, yesterday things got wierd.
My workstation at work is running 4.0-R, and I recently changed the IP
address. I kept the old IP bound as well, for a few weeks, just in
case.
Well, yesterday i removed the old address from the NIC, and things
broke. At least, that is when i noticed them breaking. fetchmail stopped
retrieving my mail.
The error that fetchmail gives is:
fetchmail: reading message 1 of 321 (2776 octets)
fetchmail: SMTP connect to localhost failed
fetchmail: POP3> QUIT
fetchmail: POP3< Ken,
fetchmail: SMTP transaction error while fetching from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Ok, wierd sez I.
think that is wierd?
damoe:/home/keen%> telnet damoe.wireless-isp.net
damoe.wireless-isp.net: No address associated with hostname
damoe:/home/keen%> ssh damoe.wireless-isp.net
Host key not found from the list of known hosts.
Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? ^C
Received signal 2.
damoe:/home/keen%> nslookup damoe.wireless-isp.net
Server: dns1.wireless-isp.net
Address: 208.61.227.10
Name: damoe.wireless-isp.net
Address: 208.61.227.212
damoe:/home/keen%>
Telnet doesnt want to resolve names! I've tried all of the nameservers i
have handy, including the one running on the workstation...nada.
I cant seem to find a way to get telnet to give me anything more verbose
for the error, though. I find nothing of it in the logs, either.
Suggestions??
Fyi, I did try adding the old IP back to the NIC, same thing. Even
swapped everything back to the old ip scheme...nada.
What am i missing? I've changed IP addresses on many FreeBSD boxen since
3.0-R...(what can I say, I was a bsd/os guy before that..;) with never a
problem..at least not such as this.
Thanks for your help..
...david
