Gladly! With only 'nameserver 217.23.2.11' in my /etc/resolv.conf and running sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start, I appear to be completely unable to resolve any name in any of my internet browsers. The dump.pcap simply shows entries like 'Standard query 0x3347 A www.yahoo.com'.
With only 'nameserver 8.8.8.8' in my /etc/resolv.conf and running sudo /etc/init.d/dns-clean start, I can resolve names again. I've changed the tcpdump command to 'sudo tcpdump -w /tmp/dump.pcap -s 0 udp and port 53 and host 8.8.8.8'. I've attached the resulting dump.pcap below. In it it shows that several hostnames were successfully resolved. At the end, it failed to resolve cnn.com but is not shown in the dump. I then did an extra tcpdump with 'sudo tcpdump -w /tmp/dump.pcap -s 0 udp and port 53' with google.com failing at the end, but again, it is not shown. My naive interpretation is that firefox is simply not sending a dns request for some reason. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1796979 Title: Intermittently can't connect to the server To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/firefox/+bug/1796979/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
