Description of problem: very often, DNS resolution fail. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 15 up to date How reproducible: Every time for me, but not for every one i guess. Steps to Reproduce: 1. try $ wget http://mozzila.org --2011-08-30 16:25:35-- http://mozzila.org/ Resolving mozzila.org... failed: Name or service not known. wget: unable to resolve host address `mozzila.org' 2. first try fail, then a second : $ wget http://mozzila.org --2011-08-30 16:25:37-- http://mozzila.org/ Resolving mozzila.org... 209.85.51.152 Connecting to mozzila.org|209.85.51.152|:80... connected. The same for every sites, and every soft (wget, yum, firefox…) Additional info: Only fedora 15 is affected, its a fresh install. I never had this problem before with any distro Here the error message of curl, maybe interesting : $ curl www.centos.org curl: (6) Could not resolve host: www.mozzila.org; Cannot allocate memory (as usual, second try worked) Notice also that if i do $ wget host.com (fail) $ curl host.com (same host, fail too) $ wget host.com (succeed !)
I just seen that nslookup work perfectly. I realy don't understand what's happen.
I have done a new install on a 32bits computers, the problem wasn't here before I updated it. So this bug as been introduced after the release of fedora 15…
I used a Livebox (by Orange) as DNS. If i use any other DNS server, no problem anymore.
With fedora 16 : same problem, same solution :)
This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component.
Hello, as I see you have solved the problem, I'm closing this bug.
