Fetchmail problem
Hi,
I sometimes encounter the following problem. I have an router which
brings my little home network online. I use an external static DNS
server. But here is the problem with fetchmail and sometimes finger
(unknow host).
$ fetchmail -vv
fetchmail: couldn't find canonical DNS name of pop.tu-ilmenau.de
$ ping -c 3 pop.tu-ilmenau.de
PING fddi-everest.rz.tu-ilmenau.de (141.24.248.18): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 141.24.248.18: icmp_seq=0 ttl=246 time=131.1 ms
64 bytes from 141.24.248.18: icmp_seq=1 ttl=246 time=130.0 ms
64 bytes from 141.24.248.18: icmp_seq=2 ttl=246 time=129.6 ms
--- fddi-everest.rz.tu-ilmenau.de ping statistics ---
3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss
round-trip min/avg/max = 129.6/130.2/131.1 ms
Could it help if I install a DNS Server on the router? What could cause
the problem with not finding the DNS name?
Kai.
