Re: DNS problem?
Hello,
try entering your IPS's dns servers in the file:
/etc/resolv.conf
i.e.
echo "nameserver xx.yy.zz.ww" > /etc/resolv.conf
where xx.yy.zz.www is the nameserver your ISP provides
for you.
It is strange however, that irc and pings work ...
Maybe that is a temporary error, or someone within
your network is poluting the DNS cache of the
nameservers... check also with them if they had
problems with those sites on the given dates....
