Hello everybody,
I'm not certain whether this is really on topic for the list, but it's worth a shot. My B&W G3 runs headless and lives 60 miles away, so the only way I can use it is to ssh in. I could do this fine before, but now I've got my own DSL line installed and all I get is:
PowerBook:~ stocksy$ ssh [EMAIL PROTECTED] reverse mapping checking getaddrinfo for stocksy.is failed - POSSIBLE BREAKIN ATTEMPT!
The Power Mac is on an NTL 600/128k cable connection. I thought that it was something wrong with my NTL's DNS or the DNS settings on my Power Mac, but I can ssh to the machine through my neighbour's access point (naughty me) just fine. Trying a reverse lookup on my DSL line's IP gives:
Power-Mac:~ stocksy$ host 83.146.29.99 Host 99.29.146.83.in-addr.arpa not found: 3(NXDOMAIN)
Yet ping can resolve the hostname to an IP:
Power-Mac:~ stocksy$ ping host-83-146-29-99.bulldogdsl.com PING host-83-146-29-99.bulldogdsl.com (83.146.29.99): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 83.146.29.99: icmp_seq=0 ttl=244 time=46.624 ms
Anyone experience anything like this?
James.
