Hi, A few months ago I posted the enclosed message and was given the fix to turn off ipv6 support, which has worked fine for me ever since (i.e, add the line 'install ipv6 /bin/true' to /etc/modprobe.conf) Recently the DNS problems I described have come back... I did upgrade a new kernel using yum. I still see the ipv6 line in my /etc/modprobe.conf file so I am at a loss. Any ideas as to what may be causing resolver "dropouts"?? Regards and Help! Allen ------------------- Subject: Need help with a DNS problem Date: Friday 04 June 2004 01:04 pm From: Allen Winter <winterz@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: For users of Fedora Core releases <fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx> Howdy, I am having a strange issue on my new Fedora Core 2 install with DNS. I have three systems connected to ADSL via a Netgear WGR214v2 Router, with one running Redhat 9, one running FC1, and the other my new FC2 system. The Redhat system is running dhcpcd and has no problem getting addresses. The FC1 system is running dhclient and had no problem getting addresses. The new FC2 system is also running dhclient and fails to get addresses for only a *few* names I've encountered so far. And dig will give me an answer for those names, but nslookup will fail. I have looked up everything I know and compared the FC1 and FC2 systems and they look to be configured the same. For example, % dig myfidelity.members.fidelity.com ; <<>> DiG 9.2.3 <<>> myfidelity.members.fidelity.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; Got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 3837 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;myfidelity.members.fidelity.com.

Any ideas?
