| DHCP - working fine, i've got the same settings as ever (it's a static |
| 8 |
| configuration through DHCP) |
| 9 |
| Pinging the gateway/dns server - works fine. |
| 10 |
| Pinging google.com <http://google.com>: it can't resolve google.com |
| 11 |

It sounds DNS isn't working properly. Just because the DNS server is |
| 13 |
pingable (using ICMP) doesn't mean DNS resolution is working! |
| 14 |
DNS requests run over UDP port 53 (zone transfers over TCP 53, but |
| 15 |
that's realy only useful for DNS admins). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
It could be a problem with your /etc/resolv.conf file. |
| 18 |
Does it have an entry for the name server? |
| 19 |
If not that's probably your problem. You may have to check your |
| 20 |
config files regarding net and dhcp, ie /etc/conf.d/net.eth0 etc. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Does the dig command work, or host/nslookup? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
Try, for instance, |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
~ dig www.cisco.com +short |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
This gives the most basic info, ie just the servers IP address, |
| 30 |
if DNS is working correctly. |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
For more elaborate info (good for troubleshooting) try: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
dig www.cisco.com +nocmd +nostats +noquestion |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
This gives more info, skipping som less useful garbage). |
| 37 |
|
| 38 |
BTW, putting "+nocmd +nostats +noquestion" without the quotes in your |
| 39 |
~/.digrc file is pretty useful:) |
