nameserver problems after 1.3 upgrade! HELP
HELP,
Here is the problem. I upgraded to frozen from uiarchive.uiuc.edu
over the weekend. I am having all kinds of network type problems now.
Everything upgraded ok with no real problems that couldn't be fixed
with a second run of install in dselect. I am running on a stand
alone machine at home. I use diald to dial in to the university and
run slirp and emulate ppp on my host widget.ecn.purdue.edu. So I
don't have a constant connection to the net or a real hostname. Now
when diald starts pppd it just hangs and diald times out. I can't
ping my own local machine at all it says host is unknown. I can't
print anything because lpr gives this error, "lpr: unable to get
official name for local machine". Ping of my local machine returns a
host unknown. Emacs takes forever to load because it is trying to
find the hostname. However hostname returns my fake machine name just
fine. dnsdomainname fails with "dnsdomainname: Host name lookup
failure". When named starts it gives these errors in
/var/log/messages:

I didn't change any of the conf files for network related
programs... What is going on?
Here are some of the files which might be of help.
hostname:
widget-servis
resolv.conf:
domain ecn.purdue.edu
search widget.ecn.purdue.edu widget.ecn widget
nameserver 128.46.131.20
nameserver 128.46.131.20
nameserver 128.46.131.20
hosts:(harbor is the main dns at ecn.purdue.edu)
127.0.0.1 widget-servis.ecn.purdue.edu widget-servis loopback localhost
128.46.129.76 harbor.ecn.purdue.edu harbor harbor.ecn
[other common hosts snipped]
Like I said this all worked just fine for 1.2 now I am having all
kinds of trouble after upgrade to 1.3.
Any and all help needed.
Thanks,
Brian
