This is a bit odd and it has me a bit confused. I've recently implemented a 3com 56K LAN Modem at home and my Linux machine (Mandrake 6.1) seems to be having a problem with the DNS implementation. Ethereal tells me (shortened to save space): logan 255.255.255.255 UDP Source: 1025 Dest: 5456 logan LANmodem DNS Standard query PTR 6.1.168.192.in-addr.arpa LANmodem logan DNS Standard query response PTR logan All machine names actually display with the fqd as they should. I am not running named or bind or any other DNS server other than the implementation on the LAN modem. This series of packets occurs every 1.5 seconds CONSTANTLY. A quick look at ifconfig on the Linux machine shows my ip address is correct, my snm is 255.255.255.224, and my bcast is 192.168.1.31. No other machines on the net (three others - one NT4 and two Win98) have this problem. I also do not recall seeing this with my 3com ISDN LAN modem (which I used until I moved to where ISDN is not available!). All machines use DHCP to obtain ip addresses, routes, etc. I attempted to fix the issue by changing the snm on the LAN modem to ff.ff.ff.0, the way it was with the ISDN version, however this did not seem to help. Does anyone have any idea what may be happening here? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
