FreeBSD Alpha.chello.no 4.3-RELEASE FreeBSD
I have a wierd problem, where the system is unable to resolve hostnames.
Even though I have configured resolv.conf, here is the output of the file:
search chello.no
nameserver 212.186.255.29
nameserver 212.186.255.30
I have checked the addresses, and they are correct. Have also tried using
those DNS server on a win box, wich works fine.
I am able to ping numerical addresses, however, when I try to ping hostnames
I get: "ping: cannot resolve freebsd.org: unknown host"
Have tried several adresses, all with the same result.
This happens also when I try to ftp, http with lynx, ntp update, they all
fail
to connect when I use hostnames.
What makes it even more wierd, is that I am able to resolv hostnames by
using
'nslookup'.
prompt # nslookup freebsd.org
server: dnscache01.chello.no
address: 212.186.255.29
Name: Freebsd.org
address: 216.136.204.21
Wich means I am able to resolve hostnames, DNS is working, however
applications like ping, ftp etc. fails to resolve hostnames.
How does the application resolve hostnames, what can cause what I
am experiencing ? I would like to resolve this problem, if someone could
shed
some light on this problem. I would greatly appreciate it.
If you need more feedback, to trouble shoot this problem. Let me know,
and I will reply as soon as possible.
