Greetings I cannot resolve any hostnames from my box after running the Ubuntu 7.10 perfect set up. It cannot ping google.ca but it can ping itself via its hostname bryxal.ca. Thank you very much for any information regarding this. Here are what i would believe are the useful information: netstat -tap: Active Internet connections (servers and established) Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name tcp 0 0 localhost:mysql *:* LISTEN 4575/mysqld tcp 0 0 *:www *:* LISTEN 5052/apache2 tcp 0 0 *:81 *:* LISTEN 4973/ispconfig_http tcp 0 0 64.26.154.106:domain *:* LISTEN 26577/named tcp 0 0 localhost:domain *:* LISTEN 26577/named tcp 0 0 localhost:953 *:* LISTEN 26577/named tcp 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 26503/master tcp 0 0 *:https *:* LISTEN 5052/apache2 tcp6 0 0 *:imaps *:* LISTEN 4683/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *op3s *:* LISTEN 4723/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *op3 *:* LISTEN 4701/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:imap2 *:* LISTEN 4663/couriertcpd tcp6 0 0 *:ssh *:* LISTEN 27167/sshd tcp6 0 0 ip6-localhost:953 *:* LISTEN 26577/named tcp6 0 0 *:smtp *:* LISTEN 26503/master getnameinfo failed getnameinfo failed tcp6 0 0 [UNKNOWN]:ssh [UNKNOWN]:4757 ESTABLISHED26655/0 getnameinfo failed getnameinfo failed tcp6 0 1000 [UNKNOWN]:ssh [UNKNOWN]:1082 ESTABLISHED27208/1 vi /etc/network/interfaces # The loopback network interface auto lo iface lo inet loopback # The primary network interface auto eth0 iface eth0 inet static address 64.26.154.106 netmask 255.255.255.248 network 64.26.154.104 broadcast 64.26.154.111 gateway 64.26.154.105 dns-nameservers 216.254.136.209 216.254.141.2 named.conf: options { pid-file "/var/run/bind/run/named.pid"; directory "/etc/bind"; auth-nxdomain no; /* * If there is a firewall between you and nameservers you want * to talk to, you might need to uncomment the query-source * directive below.
