Hi all,

I'm getting weird DNS timeouts. The /etc/resolv.conf file on my
machine points to the ADSL modem, 192.168.1.1.

    machine >  host planet.linux.org.au 192.168.1.1
    Using domain server:
    Name: 192.168.1.1
    Address: 192.168.1.1#53
    Aliases: 

    planet.linux.org.au has address 221.133.213.94
    ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
    ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

If I telnet into the modem and grab the /etc/resolv.conf file from
that and use the two nameservers lsited there, I get no connection
time outs.

Can anybody explain that?

Cheers,
Erik

safety. The latter is just bad design." -- David Hopwood
