. . . except (you knew there had to be an exceptions, else why would I bother with this)

DesktopFC5 (didius) periodically looses contact with the (net)world. It can't be pinged, I can ssh to it, and I can't get to an external site, at least by name. When I discovered this I fell back on my Unix experience and restarted and named and, voila!, everything was back in order.

I have NetworkManager running on all three machines.

I keep all three of them as close to current in updates as I can.


Can anyone tell me why named periodically goes into limbo? or tell me how I can start to investigate this?

/var/log/messages

seems to show the following when I can no longer use the name of the site/machine

Jan 16 23:01:03 didius NetworkManager: <WARNING> add_ip4_config_to_named (): Could not set forwarders for zone '.'. Error: 'No reply within specified time'.

When I restart named  I get the following in /var/log/messages

Sometimes I can go for several hours with out a problem. Other times it is a matter of minutes.

Any help gratefully appreciated.

Looks to me like you might not be configured quite right; what does /etc/resolv.conf look like on your system? This will tell us who the machine thinks are the local DNS servers.



Thanks Bill.


I wondered about resolv.conf and here is what it says. Note that I have NetworkManager running:


  $ cat /etc/resolv.conf
  # generated by NetworkManager, do not edit!

  ; Use a local caching nameserver controlled by NetworkManager

  search myhome.westell.com

  nameserver 127.0.0.1


myhome.westell.com is the DSL modem/router . I was expecting to see
nameserver 192.168.1.1

instead of 127.0.0.1, since that is how my FC6 machine is running, but I've not been able to determine where I should change the configuration so this occurs. Since NetworkManager is running changing resolve.conf directly fixes nothing since it changes it on the fly.
