From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.2.16-3 i686; en-US; 0.7) Gecko/20010105 With the basic install (default kernel, etc), I cannot resolve names. /etc/resolv.conf is correct, /etc/nsswitch.conf is correct. I can ping the IP addresses of the nameservers (so I have connectivity and they are alive), however all calls to nslookup, host, and dig fail with the following message: ;; Connection timed out. Server not responding. However, a RH6.2 machine on the same network works fine. I have to believe it's a configuration issue, but I can't find any additional info. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.boot normally (fisher default configuration) 2.$ host www.sun.com 3. Actual Results: ;; connection timed out. server not responding. Expected Results: I should have gotten valid results for sun. The machine is a dhcp client hanging off a linksys dsl router box (acting as the dhcp server). I've spent a few hours on IRC over the weekend, no one seems to have experience with fisher. Posting to linux.redhat.misc didn't help either. Have the configuration changed for fisher? Am I doing something brain dead?
Please show us your nameserver line in /etc/resolv.conf and the output of "ipchains -L -n"
This appears to be the same problem as everyone else is reporting (I swore nothing showed up before I logged this). At any rate, I would feel comfortable if this were marked duplicate of 25951. I will go through the fix listed there. However, it should be noted that I chose a more or less basic install package, ie I didn't configure the firewall at all.
Not a TC issue - wrong version
