Suddenly can't get nameserver resolution on FC21 after ...

2015-01-28 Thread William W. Austin
I have a Linux workstation with 2 network cards - one to get to the internet 
(so that I can work remotely from my home office) and one for my local lan 
(other machines, printers, etc.)

About a week ago I updated it from FC20 to FC21 and had absolutely no problems. 
Everything was working smoothly and I was able to use both networks with no 
problems.  Then one of my 2 network cards died (SIDS I think) and I replaced 
it with another of a different model.   I did have to system-config-network-gui 
to set the network parameters correctly and for two days it ran fine.

However I had a system crash (bad disk) yesterday (user files - nothing related 
to the system) and after that I replaced the drive and rebooted.  However from 
that point on I no longer get name resolution from my ISP's 2 name servers.  
The new card is still working correctly (and if I know the IP address I can get 
to my office, web pages, etc.  However if I try to do a ping host or nslookup 
host or traceroute host, I have to wait until the command times out (or hit 
delete and kill the command) and eventually I get a variation on CANNOT 
CONNECT TO HOST or some such.

I have checked my ifcfg-* files under /etc/sysconfig/ (all 3 links of each of 
the 2 nics) and they are unchanged.
My /etc/hosts file is unchanged, and there is nothing in /var/log messages to 
indicate what the problem is (nor does dmesg show anything unexpected).

In short I have a heavy-duty workstation which should be able to connect to the 
internet but can't.

Any suggestions will be appreciated, and any requests for further information 
will be answered.  This one is driving me crazy at this point.

Thanks in advance,
 - wwa

DNS is configured in /etc/resolv.conf.  Look there.

Attempt to ping your DNS servers to verify they are reachable.

Use dig to query them directly:
 dig @dns IP address hostname
