I might argue that should be "In spite of the mythfest install...". ;-)
I do know that my router does not like to pass through IPv6 info, so I am suspecting something like this.
You can disable IPv6 networking by editing the file </etc/sysconfig/network> and changing or adding the line <NETWORKING_IPV6=no>. Then run <service network restart>. (Don't type the angle brackets in any of this.) You will need root privileges for this, so use "su", "sudo", etc., as needed.)
Are there some tools I can use to determine what is actually happening?
Dave's (aluminumsulfate) suggestions are good. You may also want to compare the times for the following commands: host liberty.gnhlug.org ping -n 199.125.75.42 ping -n liberty.gnhlug.org The first command (host) does just a DNS lookup. The second command pings the GNHLUG web server by IP address, suppressing all name lookups (-n). The third command pings the GNHLUG web server by name, suppressing all other name lookups. If the first command takes a long time to complete but the second goes quickly, there is a problem with your DNS configuration. If both are slow, that implies a general network or local system problem. If only the third command is slow, that implies a local nsswitch problem (since DNS was fast). -- Ben _______________________________________________ gnhlug-discuss mailing list gnhlug-discuss@mail.gnhlug.org http://mail.gnhlug.org/mailman/listinfo/gnhlug-discuss/
