Package: dnsutils Version: 1:9.7.3 Severity: important *** Please type your report below this line ***
Please refer to this bug from Fri, 19 Aug 2005 00:18:06 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=323875 The problem is not solved up to now! I am banging by head also with loosing the DNS resolve. I have two eth in the PC: 1. Onboard eth1 with 100 MPS 2. PCI RTL-8169 Gigabit Ethernet as eth2 First everything works fine using the eth2. But when you plug the network accidentally into eth1 and you boot, then you loose complete the DNS resolve. When you plug back to eth2 is will not help. You loose DNS forever! I tried everything to configure manual and here is the configuration that runs before and now: root@PC:/etc# cat resolv.conf 192.168.1.1 root@PC:/etc/network# cat interfaces # This file describes the network interfaces available on your system # and how to activate them. For more information, see interfaces(5). # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface allow-hotplug eth2 iface eth2 inet static address 192.168.1.12 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.1.0 broadcast 192.168.1.255 gateway 192.168.1.1 # dns-* options are implemented by the resolvconf package, if installed dns-nameservers 192.168.1.1 Now the interfacve is running and also browsing is possible when you tipe directly the IP instead of the URL. But a simple nslookup fails: root@PC:/etc# nslookup google.com ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached So this installation is dead! Also reinstallation of the dnsutils is not possible without DNS. I opened this bug with important because this problem exists for many years and you can't work with the system any more when the error occurs.
