Re: bind9 prevents external access

["Justin Hartman" <jjhartman@gmail.com>]

Soma thanks for your input - by removing bind and playing with
resolv.conf it is apparent that this file was causing certain issues.

I have now installed resolvconf and after rebooting resolvconf
configured only one line in resolv.conf file as follows:

nameserver: 127.0.0.1

Prior to installing resolvconf I had the following setup:

nameserver 213.133.98.97
nameserver 213.133.98.98
nameserver 213.133.98.96

Unfortunately I still have the same problems though even with
resolvconf installed.

Regards
Justin
