Hi, I don't understand why I cant ping outside my own network on my primary nameserver. I called the isp and according to them there's no problem with connectivity (they always say that). I also have a web, mail and db server (all running potato) all of which I can reach the outside but not the primary nameserver. The only thing I've done recently on the servers is apt-get update but if I had a broken package I'd told me. Syslog shows normal activity. I also have apache running (I use as a dev space for the www sites) and there all reachable via http. I can get to the server via ssh (with some latency). Any ideas on the cause of this?
Can: reach locahost, gateway, external ip, ips in same range via name and ip Can't: reach external sites like yahoo, provider's ns1 via ip nor apt source.lists Ps aux shows bind, apache, et al running. I edited resolv.conf and swapped nameservers with isp's= no change. My nameserver is the authoritative for the sites et al while the isp is the reverse lookup authoritative. Could they have misdocumented my ips ptr records for the reverse lookup? Thanks for any help on this, Justin
