This would appear to be an internal DNS server, no? How are pings by name? I would try putting in an alternate DNS server just for kicks. Maybe the one your ISP provides or putting it as a secondary. It could also be a reverse thing. I'm not sure how a reverse-lookup would affect your transfer, I would think you'd get an undeliverable, though. I'd still try the secondary and/or sending all outbound mail to your ISP's smtp server for a quick test. <<JAV>> ---------- Original Message ----------- From: "Kevin Worthington" <kworthington@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx Sent: Fri, 09 May 2003 09:35:06 -0500 Subject: RE: please excuse this: slighlty O/T (RH 7.3) > > Sounds to me like DNS troubles > > > > Is there something changed in your resolf.conf ? > > Is your (providers) DNS server still up and running ? > > [root@xxxxxxxx root]# cat /etc/resolv.conf > nameserver 192.168.2.1 > [root@xxxxxxxx root]# ping 192.168.2.1 > PING 192.168.2.1 (192.168.2.1) from 192.168.2.134 : 56(84) bytes of data. > 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=255 time=0.592 ms > 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=255 time=0.568 ms > 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=255 time=0.797 ms > 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=255 time=0.708 ms > 64 bytes from 192.168.2.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=255 time=0.552 ms > > --- 192.168.2.1 ping statistics --- > 5 packets transmitted, 5 received, 0% loss, time 4000ms > rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.552/0.643/0.797/0.096 ms > [root@xxxxxxxx root]# > > Everything looks OK to me...
