here's my setup:
internet
|
|
dsl modem
|
|
hub ---(PC#1 win 98)
|
|
(pc#2 debian)
my isp provides me with up to three dynamic ip addresses so i don't have to bother with sharing or masqurading, etc.
My configuration was working just fine before and it seems as though my dns isn't working...
here is my /etc/resolv.conf file:
search myisp.com
nameserver 111.111.111.111
nameserver 222.222.222.222
this worked just fine about three hours ago. And now it stopped working...
at first before i figured out that i needed a resolv.conf file, when I would
ping -c4 www.dslreports.com (http://www.dslreports.com)
it would only a second to come back with an unknown host error. Now it takes up to five minutes to come back. The thing is that my internet connection is working otherwise. I'm just wondering if there is any reason why linux may mess this up... could it be looking in a different place for it?
two other quick points, I can use dns on my other machine, my win98 machine - which uses the same server. and I called my isp and he assured me that nothing has changed on their end...
please help!! I can't use apt-get until i get this fixed!!!
