Public bug reported:
Install Kubuntu Feisty
Set the ip address to dhcp for eth0 (ethernet port)
make sure the host name and domain name are set
Hostname computer1
DomainName mydomain.local
allow DHCP to assign the IP address
Ensure the computer details are registered in DNS for mydomain.local...
computer names registered in DNS (FQDN)
computer1.mydomain.local
computer2.mydomain.local
computer3.mydomain.local
computer2 and computer3 are both running Kubuntu Dapper and are both
using DHCP.
if I issue the following comands on computer2 or computer3, it works
correctly:
ping computer2 (response received - ping good)
ping computer3 (response received - ping good)
ping computer2.mydomain.local (response received - ping good)
ping computer3.mydomain.local (response received - ping good)
if i issue the same commands from the feisty box (computer1), these are
the results..
ping computer2 (response received - ping good)
ping computer3 (response received - ping good)
ping computer2.mydomain.local (unknown host)
ping computer3.mydomain.local (unknown host)
for some reason if you try to ping the fully qualified domain name on
feisty, it cant resolve it, yet it can resolve it using both static IP
Addressing and DHCP addressing on Dapper. (i set the IP to static as
well for the test) Static and DHCP on Dapper works fine. Static and DHCP
wont resolve fully qualified domain names on Feisty. (computer1,
computer2 and computer 3 are all Kubuntu machines. DNS Server is a
Windows 2003 Server (that will be changed a kubuntu server very soon
though!)
It can resolve the host name only though, and will return the fully
qualified domain name in the response.
cheers
Rod.
