In short: browsing the internet with domain names does not work. The long version: I've configured my network with DHCP and ifup. Ping works on my internal net and with servers in the internet. Dig work's too! I get the right IP to the requested domain. When i try to access the internet using firefox or even wget i get an DNS error. For example wget is showing the following error: Resolving heise.de... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address 'heise.de'
Again dig show me the right IP and if i add the entry to /etc/hosts it work's too! I've even tried it with manually setup of ip address, nameserver and default gateway but with the same result. Switching off the firewall has no effect on this problem, too.

Here is my scenario and what I want to try and achieve.
I have:
Quote:
Server A = 192.168.1.5 (serverA.home.com)
Server B = 192.168.1.6 (serverB.home.com)
Currently I have serverA.home.com domain name set up using a free dns service online. When I am anywhere in the world I just type the domain name it hits my static ISP IP via the free dns servers online, hits my home router, gets port forwarded to 192.168.1.5 Server A and I am up and running.
Now...
I have bought a second domain for serverB and want it set up like serverA but I am totally baffled on how I can resolve 2 domain names on a single network? I need (somehow) to try and tell the dns servers that when I enter in serverB.home.com it will hit my static ISP IP as above and then hit my home router but then get directed/split to Server B and not to Server A.
Basically all I want to do is name the machines and get traffic resolved to them.

I'm having trouble getting my debian box to find my windows box. This should be possible using netbios names.
The debian box is a newly installed minimal (nothing but base) release, to which I've added samba (using apt-get).
The windows box can see the debuan box just fine. Attempting to ping it by name results with:
Pinging debbox [192.168.1.100] with 32 bytes of data: ...
But going back the other way, the debian box can't see the windows box.
ping: unknown host winbox
I'm pretty happy that the windows box is behaving itself as there are no problems getting it to interact with other windows machines on the network.
Looking on google, the suggestion is to modify the host line in /etc/nsswitch.conf to include wins: hosts: files dns [b]wins[/b]
This worked on other linux machines in the past but not this time.
So my guess it that I've got SAMBA mis-configured or I'm missing a package.

I have this in my resolv.conf file:
Code:
I have also used external DNS servers just to eliminate there being a problem with 192.168.1.67 (which many other computers are using successfully).
When I attempt to ping Google just to see if it works I receive this:
Code:
If I issue a host command against google.com I receive this:
Code:
I had thought that host and the name lookup routine would use the same DNS server and it should fail on the host command as well as the ping, but evidently not.

I'm on 11.04 on VMware 4.1, trying to get name resolution working. I can ping by IP other systems including on the internet. The network manager Icon on top shows a wireless icon, but the 'Wired Network' is grayed out and below that says 'device not managed'. What can I do to fix this? The interfaces file has the auto lo, then below that
iface eth0 inet static
stuff...
It doesn't work with or without the auto eth0 entries.
I have the nic set to DHCP and on my dhcp server gave it the mac address of the box to assign it an address, that is working.

I have been casually using Unix for about 20 years, but I've never really done anything beyond basic user things unless I had instructions/help.
I've set up an Ubuntu 10.04 system and it works great except for one thing. It doesn't resolve local names.
I can ping or access other systems by IP Address and I can resolve internet names with no problems, but it won't recognize any of the other systems on my home network.
The system is set up for dhcp and everything is defaulted from the installation. There is no DNS suffix or domain set up on my router.

At work we run DHCP. hostnames have the format: computername.city.mycompany.com
I have a laptop runing Fedora 13 and a desktop I use for backups, etc. My laptop is named copernicus. Desktop is named galileo. If ping either hostname from itself I get back the localhost IP address. If I ping the fully resolved hostname it tells me unknown host. The desktop is exporting an NFS share I use for backing up work data. I need the laptop to be able to resolve host names to mount the share since we use DHCP. The desktop is dual boot and if it is booted into windows my laptop can resolve the hostname properly. What do I need to do in Fedora to get it to register a hostname with the DNS and/or DHCP server? Should the domain and the search path below both say the same thing?
Here is resolv.conf on the laptop (I am at home). The desktop looks the same, except for a different nameserver. Both computers can resolve other hostnames, just not each other.

I just set up my first ever bind9 DNS server running on ubuntu server 10.04. This server is also my gateway/dhcp server.
Here is what is weird: If I do a dig @8.8.8.8 dschuett-lmtl.scs.local from any of my clients it resolves?!?! Dig shows that it got the answer from MY Bind9 DNS server (and NOT Google's of course), but why is it still resolving when I'm telling it to use and external DNS server?
The other weird thing is that the SAME EXACT dig command above does NOT resolve internal host names if I do it from the Bind9 DNS server. - Which is what i would expect SHOULD be happening if done from the client machines...
Here are the dig results:
From any internal client:

In my network my proxy / firewall (iptables + squid) works as dns forwarder. I needed to configure an url at my /etc/hosts in my linux boxes which are behind the firewall into the lan. I want my machine to look at its local /etc/hosts file before querying the dns to the firewall.
Despite I configured my /etc/host.conf this way:
My machine keeps resolving the name through the dns forwarder (firewall) and not from the /etc/hosts file first.
Is there any action needed after configuring /etc/host.conf? Any service to restart?

i have registered two domain names that i want to use to connect to my ubuntu server. I was wondering how to do this i was looking at bind9 but that didn't work that great. The server is behind a router with firewall i can connect to it using the external IP address but i like to use the two domain names if that is possible.

I have installed Bind DNS server in Opensuse 11.1 and it was running fine for two weeks. However starting last week it was unable to resolve a lot of internet sites (e.g. opensuse.org). I can say it is working partiallyI tried restart the named service and it worked fine for only about 15 minutes and back to partial condition.All the records in zone files can be resolved. Only some internet websites not able to resolve. The same sites can be resolve with another dns server internally

I was wondering if there is any way to enable an MS Windows client that is otherwise unable of joining a domain to join a domain controlled by (open)SUSE? Is that inability only for joining a Windows based domain but a client that runs XP Home Edition or similar domain- incapable version of Windows could join a domain if it was controlled by Linux?Pardon my newbie style, but answer doesn't have to be detailed step-by-step, just yes/no answer with some pointers would do. I am not new to linux but new to network services... search engines weren't friendly when asked this question at the search bar...

I have a mac and an openSUSE box connected wirelessly to a router. From my mac, if I ping the Linux machine by both ip address and hostname "elmo.local", I get a response. If I ping my mac from the Linux machine using its ip address, I get a response. However, if I ping the mac from the Linux box using its name "kermit.local" - nothing!
This means in order to share files between them via the network, I have to use the ip address rather than name, but I'd rather not. When I had Ubuntu installed instead of openSUSE this all worked fine out of the box, so I'm assuming it's a problem with the setup of openSUSE rather than the router or the mac.

I'm running openSUSE 11.2 (Linux piura 2.6.31.12-0.2-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT 2010-03-16 21:25:39 +0100 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux) and have a network problem. At work, ethernet works fine. When I plug it into my DSL router at home (which works with other computers), I encounter the following behavior: ping can resolve host names, however, traceroute and Firefox and Thunderbird cannot.
It happens for both wired and wireless connections.

How can I use grep to match the domain names only?
All the urls have a / after the domain. And there are a lot of tlds, not sure how many, the list is quite big.

Is it possible to have one static IP address with a NAT network forwarding each domain name to certain internal/DMZ IP addresses? I know you can do it by port but if both websites are on port 80 can you forward to the corresponding server on the dmz.I ask this because I noticed the website braemere.com.au had to be typed into a web browser and entering the IP which is 202.47.5.7 did not take me to the website.

So I'm looking to host potentialy three different...sites...I want to call them from the same machine. One is a radio station and the other 2 are just straight websites. So I wanted to know if I had to use different machines to accomplish this or can I alter maybe the http conf file or what. I did find this in the forums but wasn't quite sure if this applied to me. [URL="http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/serving-multiple-domain-websites-on-one-server-329914/"http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-software-2/serving-multiple-domain-websites-on-one-server-329914/[/URL]

I have spent lots of time trying to figure out how to parse the domain part of this file but am stuck.
How should this be approached:
Code:
Code:
The domains need to be parse at a maximum for 4 levels then the remainder will be put the last field.

I'm new here, so please be gentle! I recently installed F12 64 KDE on my Acer Aspire 1810TZ, could connect to the WLAN router but neither the native Konquerer nor Firefox could open any pages...
resolve.conf has the DNS according to DHCP offer, from command line dig properly resolves the name, ping (e.g. google) works, telnet to domain-name on port 80 works, GET too. When using the browser with the domain-name I tells me "Server not found", tcpdump doesn't display any activity. But when I manually change the domain-name with the IP (received by command line dig) then the browser has no problem how do browsers interact with the network resources of the OS?

For clairification, I can ping. I have tried several IP addresses and 100% success rate. When I noticed the problem I was trying to run sudo apt-get update && apt-get upgrade After some time I noticed these error messages to start with
[Code]
I tried to ping the adddress security.ubuntu.com from my Windows machine to verify that I could connect and was surprised when I could. I then pinged the address 91.189.92.167 which is what my windows machine resolved the name as and it went though.
My thoughts on this are that when my Ubuntu Router came up, for some reason it did not incorporate the ISP's DHCP servers into the ip address it obtained. Sadly I know to view ALL IP infomation in windows via ipconfig /all command but I do not know what this is in the *nix world. need commands that I can use to check and troubleshoot this apparently DHCP issue so I Can start to update my server and expand on its services?

I want to use single label host names on my local LAN, without using any domain (at least no registered one). My machines should be named in a fashion similar to 'myserver', 'mydesktop' etc. so that i from a browser on any LAN machine may write 'http://myserver', and get the webserver on 'myserver' (so NO domain part, e.g. myserver.domain).
Do i need to create a DNS zone for each host or is there a way to put all host in a single zone, if so; which? Would such a name be considered a root domain?
