Hello debian-users, I have run into an interesting issue with the DNS resolution on only one of my debian lenny systems on my network. I have confirmed that this system has working network connectivity but I would like to restore the ability to query DNS records from my local DNS server which is also in my case my network gateway. Additionally I can ssh into the system easily while connected to the same local network 10.254.2.0/24 The working (as in with other systems on my network) DNS and router is at 10.254.2.254/24. The IP statically set for the debian system is 10.254.2.1/24 Some info from this AMD64 architecture system is below. root@localhost:~# cat /etc/debian_version 5.0.4 root@localhost:~# cat /etc/resolv.conf domain site search site nameserver 10.254.2.254 root@localhost:~# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 10.254.2.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 br200 default 10.254.2.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 br200 Snippet from /etc/network/interfaces: # LAN bridge iface eth1.200 inet manual auto br200 iface br200 inet static address 10.254.2.1 network 10.254.2.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 10.254.2.255 gateway 10.254.2.254 bridge-ports eth1.200 root@localhost:~# ping 66.249.90.104 (a google IP beyond local router) PING 66.249.90.104 (66.249.90.104) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 66.249.90.104: icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=25.7 ms 64 bytes from 66.249.90.104: icmp_seq=2 ttl=53 time=24.3 ms 64 bytes from 66.249.90.104: icmp_seq=3 ttl=53 time=25.0 ms root@localhost:~# traceroute 66.249.90.104 traceroute to 66.249.90.104 (66.249.90.104), 30 hops max, 40 byte packets 1 * * * 2 * * * 3 * * * 4 * * * 5 * * * 6 * * * 7 * * * 8 * * * 9 * * * 10 * * * 11 * * * 12 * * * 13 * * * 14 * * * 15 * * * 16 * * * 17 * * * 18 * * * 19 * * * 20 * * * 21 * * * 22 * * * 23 * * * 24 * * * 25 * * * 26 * * * 27 * * * 28 * * * 29 * * * 30 * * * http://packages.debian.org/search?searchon=contents&keywords=resolv.conf&mode=filename&suite=stable&arch=amd64 Advice on how to troubleshoot further would be much appreciated, thanks. -M Take your contacts everywhere.
