Re: [Skunkworks] Rogue DNS

I have a weird problem here. I have 2; one running windows xp and the other ubuntu 12.04. Now, I can access all sites on the windows pc but not the ubuntu one. The DNS servers are similar. What could be the problem?

What do you mean the DNS servers are similar, they cannot be! Paste some logs and some tests doing lookings with +trace option. ./Ok3ch On Wed, May 16, 2012 at 4:59 PM, mash lists <mashlists@gmail.com> wrote:

Maybe the Ubuntu has a firewall that's blocking DNS requests Sent from my iPhone On May 16, 2012, at 4:59 PM, mash lists <mashlists@gmail.com> wrote:

Ubuntu does not block DNS requests by default. Make sure your entries are correct on /etc/resolv.conf and also check your default route. On 17 May 2012 08:29, Jimmy Thuo <jimmy.thuo@gmail.com> wrote:

It was a firewall issue. Apparently, it was too old and had exhausted the licensed user numbers. On 17 May 2012 16:00, David Njuki <njukey@gmail.com> wrote:

Out of curiosity, how did the firewall decide to block ubuntu? Isn't this some form of discrimination? On Tue, May 22, 2012 at 6:53 AM, mash lists <mashlists@gmail.com> wrote:
