This makes no sense to me. I can go to www.yahoo.com in a browser
but I can't ping yahoo.com and nothing on my network blocks pings or
yahoo.com. I also can't ping local hosts in my hosts list but I can
ping their ip address. This is a fedora core 5 install and
everything was working fine untill i ran yum update. Something else
thats odd, ping does not say that it has failed or can't connect, it
just hangs untill I break it. I also tried putting a nfs entry in my
fstab and that wont mount either (it uses a host name instead of a ip
address).
Here is my resolv.conf
------
search sondermuell
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 216.231.41.2
nameserver 66.93.87.2
------
Check the "hosts" entry in your /etc/nsswitch.conf
Paul.
I have
hosts: files ldap dns
and I am pulling some of my hosts from ldap. And now that I try
removing ldap from my hosts list it all works ok. But why is it doing
that? I have another linux box using a different distro and everything
works ok pulling hosts from the ldap server. Also when I do getent
hosts I get a full list of all of my hosts (including the list from
ldap). So why is getent working but it breaks when I try to resolve one
of those hosts in ldap?
Thanks for your time.
