 |
|
I have found a few similar problems on the forums but no solution that works for me.
This: | Code: | | ping 208.67.222.222 |
works fine.
But this: returns 'unknown host'.
The local network works fine. I can use aliases from /etc/hosts to mount nfs partitions from my nas or ssh onto another computer.
Below are my /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/conf.d/net (showing several attempts to fix the problem) and /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf, and the outputs of ifconfig and route.
| Code: | cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd
# Not really generated, the following lines come from resolv.conf.head
nameserver=208.67.222.222
nameserver=208.67.220.220
nameserver=8.8.8.8

Does "host www.duckduckgo.com 208.67.222.222" work? What do you see if you tcpdump for DNS requests and responses?

Your /etc/resolv.conf looks wrong to me. You shouldn't have the = sign. Mine looks like this:
| Code: | nameserver 208.67.222.222
nameserver 208.67.220.220 |
mine just have a space, and not the = inbetween. When I added the = sign on my system, it also failed to resolv DNS. So I expect this is your problem.
