Does the problem still persist? Could be sourceforge nameserver temporary being down, or that your router has problems with either udp or tcp dns name-queries. your network is broken, either way not an issue with Gentoo $ dig +short pciids.sourceforge.net projects.sourceforge.net. 66.35.250.209 Got a little news on this one. If I remove search and domain from /etc/resolv.conf , it works fine, but now I cannot use the short names locally. Any ideas of why this happends? (It apparently only happends on the machine that acts like DNS server for the rest of the network) your description is awfully vague, you need to provide more info about the machine and network setups I have set the dnsdomainname to gurlinet.dk in /etc/conf.d/domainname in /etc/resolv.conf I'd like to be able to set search and domain to gurlinet.dk , so I on the machine can ping and connect to the local machines just by using their name and not the entire dns name (their full internal dns is name.gurlinet.dk (etc. mercury.gurlinet.dk)). if I set eighter "search gurlinet.dk" or "domain gurlinet.dk" in /etc/resolv, it stops working, and acts like I descriped earlier. The machine is hosting the domain, and resolv.conf is configured to use 127.0.0.1 as nameserver. search and domain are mutually exclusive, read `man resolv.conf` Using one of them only doesn't help, it still does not work when set. so load up ethereal and packet sniff the dns traffic |
