I have been using these same IP for nameservers for years, most recently in F10,F11 and now F12. Why would NM supply a nameserver that is unresponive to ping? pinging 206.13.29.12 and 206.13.30.12 also look ok, but neither of these are in the NM resolv.conf Am I free to get rid of the one failing ping, 206.13.20.12 and substitute one of 206.13.29.12 or 206.13.30.12? thanks for any advice Jack -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
