It sounds DNS isn't working properly. Just because the DNS server is pingable (using ICMP) doesn't mean DNS resolution is working! DNS requests run over UDP port 53 (zone transfers over TCP 53, but that's realy only useful for DNS admins). It could be a problem with your /etc/resolv.conf file. Does it have an entry for the name server? If not that's probably your problem. You may have to check your config files regarding net and dhcp, ie /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 etc. Does the dig command work, or host/nslookup? Try, for instance, ~ dig www.cisco.com +short This gives the most basic info, ie just the servers IP address, if DNS is working correctly. For more elaborate info (good for troubleshooting) try: dig www.cisco.com +nocmd +nostats +noquestion This gives more info, skipping som less useful garbage). BTW, putting "+nocmd +nostats +noquestion" without the quotes in your ~/.digrc file is pretty useful:) //T -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (MingW32) iD8DBQFGF3lcJDzv6DN+QUkRAucOAJ9GfYu6fzHxwHfVBCp/omm3U/rlBQCgxaJQ 4TBo+cv3MJBoHOqELg88mm8= =sPBc -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
