Same for me from the outside. I agree with the other gentleman, you need to ask them to allow TCP on their nameservers. If they ask why, tell them that not all DNS responses fit into a single UDP packet so it will revert to TCP. If they still question it, find another ISP. >I actually turned off my firewall through YAST, the interface provided >by SuSE, but have now turned the rules off again as suggested by Todd >Lyons through > iptables -F > iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT > iptables -P OUTPUT ACCEPT >(how do I reverse this I wonder?) I know how to do it in RedHat and Mandrake, not sure about Suse. >I then get: >Chain INPUT (policy DROP) Something has the firewall put back in. Here's what I see on mine. I put in two sample rules and then used -F (Flush) to drop it. If you are still seeing rules in your system, then Yast is not doing what it tells you it is doing (which has been my experience with Yast anyway).
