Hi all,
I discovered the host name lookup issue when I was trying to use
apt-get, and
received the following error (incl for other searching with same issue):
Err http://http.us.debian.org stable/main Packages
Temporary failure resolving 'http.us.debian.org'
I have read everything I can find and tried all solutions listed, but
have not
been able to get hostname lookup working...details:
TS-7400 Debian (3.1 Sarge) on 512MB SD; shipped 4/3/07
Network info from Linux/Win desktop box (mostly same info used for TS
board)
-IP: 128.172.167.174
-Subnet: 255.255.255.0
-Default Gateway: 128.172.167.254
-Preferred DNS: 128.172.1.1
So I used this same info to configure TS board, files shown below:
--/etc/network/interfaces--
# Used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8). See the interfaces(5) manpage or
# /usr/share/doc/ifupdown/examples for more information.
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback
auto eth0
#iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet static
address 128.172.167.235
# network 128.172.167.254
gateway 128.172.167.254
netmask 255.255.255.0
# broadcast 192.168.1.255
#iface eth1 inet dhcp
iface wlan0 inet static
address 192.168.0.138
network 192.168.0.0
netmask 255.255.255.0
broadcast 192.168.0.255
+Note: I tried it with the the 'network' and 'broadcast' lines
uncommented as
well.
--/etc/resolve.conf
search ts-local.net
nameserver 128.172.1.1
I checked the /lib/libresolve... linking as well.
Not sure if it helps, but 'route -n' gives me this:
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref
Use Iface
128.172.167.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0
0 eth0
Due to our network setup, pings to the internet are filtered, so I
can't ping
yahoo.com or something like that. FTP is allowed, so I tried to
connect to microsoft's ftp, which failed.
I can however, ping machines on local network, but only by IP, not by
their domain name.
Pinging 'ts7000', the local host name, and 127.0.0.1 works.
Pinging the IP of the nameserver fails. However, I am able to ping it
from a Windows machine
with network config identical to one above(all the way at the top).
Well that is where I stand. I'll be keeping a close eye on this post,
please let me know if more info is
needed. Thanks in advance; other than this little hicup, I'm really
enjoying the TS board.
