Hi, I was using the Internet and name resolution suddenly stopped. When I checked I found out
========================================= $ netstat -an |grep 53 tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.953 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 59.93.35.248.53 *.* LISTEN tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1.53 *.* LISTEN udp 0 0 59.93.35.248.53 *.* udp 0 0 127.0.0.1.53 *.* tcp6 0 0 ::1.953 *.* LISTEN tcp6 0 0 *.53 *.* LISTEN udp6 0 0 *.53 ======================================= Bind is no longer listening on udp 127.0.0.1.53. For the time being i use OpenDNS. Could some one please let me know how to fix this? =================================== $ cat /etc/resolv.conf lookup file bind nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 208.67.222.222 $ cat /etc/rc.conf.local pf=YES named_flags="" $ sudo ps aux |grep named _syslogd 5452 0.0 0.2 532 724 ?? S 9:42AM 0:00.01 syslogd -a /var/named/dev/log -a /var/empty/dev/log named 15162 0.0 0.7 2504 3064 ?? I 9:42AM 0:00.07 named root 32198 0.0 0.2 1604 728 ?? Is 9:42AM 0:00.00 named: [priv] (named) =========================================================================== Thank you so much Kind Regards Siju
