Then try your tests to the IP addresses instead.
Once DNS is involved, there are too many variables.
Read the fucking posts, Andrew. There is no DNS involved. The tests have
all been repeated with dotted quads. It's in the posts!
First, DNS is more than just external nameservers. It encompasses all
of the things which are toggled by /etc/nsswitch.conf. Therefore,
/etc/hosts is considered part of the DNS system, as well.
Second, you'll have to pardon me for missing/forgetting the two words
"tried both" at the bottom of a post that is 20 messages back.
Especially when *not one single post from you* has so far described your
network or direct commands in terms of dotted quads.
Finally, you should temper your words given that we are attempting to
help in *spite* of the fact that we are effectively flying blind based
upon vague recollections and imprecise descriptions with an amateur who
currently can't even reach the controls.
Generally, I regard those who find the time to be rude as having the
time to find the problem by themselves. Enjoy.
