Therefore, it requires a DNS Server that allows clients to query it using TCP. Some routers and modems do not allow DNS queries over TCP, simply because it isn't standard (In DNS, TCP is used for zone transfers, and UDP is used for querying). You can determine if this is the case, by obtaining the DNS servers that your system has in /etc/resolv.conf, and executing the following commands: dig @<dns-server> +tcp www.google.com (which should fail, if the router is not able to handle DNS queries over TCP) and dig @<dns-server> +notcp www.google.com (which should complete anyway) If your router appears not to be able to handle DNS queries over TCP, edit your /etc/resolv.conf to include some nameservers that do (for example, your own DNS server with the router as one of its forwarders, or the DNS servers that your router has listed as forwarders). Hope this helps! Kind regards, -kanarip -- Jeroen van Meeuwen, LPIC-1, MCP http://www.kanarip.com/ C6B0 7FB4 43E6 CDDA D258 F70B 28DE 9FDA 9342 BF08
