I have a set of 3 Linux boxes, LaptopFC6, DesktopFC5, and DesktopFC6. On the two FC6 machines named is no longer a services ( I'm not sure who took it's place, since I'm a networking neophyte) but everything seems to be working to allow me access to the net via my DSL modem/router and to each of the machines from each other....

. . . except (you knew there had to be an exceptions, else why would I bother with this)

DesktopFC5 (didius) periodically looses contact with the (net)world. It can't be pinged, I can ssh to it, and I can't get to an external site, at least by name. When I discovered this I fell back on my Unix experience and restarted and named and, voila!, everything was back in order.

I have NetworkManager running on all three machines.

I keep all three of them as close to current in updates as I can.


Can anyone tell me why named periodically goes into limbo? or tell me how I can start to investigate this?

/var/log/messages

seems to show the following when I can no longer use the name of the site/machine

Jan 16 23:01:03 didius NetworkManager: <WARNING> add_ip4_config_to_named (): Could not set forwarders for zone '.'. Error: 'No reply within specified time'.

When I restart named  I get the following in /var/log/messages

Sometimes I can go for several hours with out a problem. Other times it is a matter of minutes.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Looks to me like you might not be configured quite right; what does /etc/resolv.conf look like on your system? This will tell us who the machine thinks are the local DNS servers.
