Hello, I hope there will be some suggestions for this. This is a single-user box, managed by an amateur (me). This is surprising and baffling; it makes me suspect I've made some basic error in configuration, but I can't find it.
My newly installed squeeze has problems with DNS. Specificially, Emacs gnus and evolution cannot reliably find their respective servers. If I configure the applications with 'pop-server.triad.rr.com', for example, they report that they cannot find the server. But if I configure them with the IP of the server,they work OK. OTOH iceweasel works fine. As far as I can tell, nslookup, ping, and host work as expected. A lenny install on the same hardware works fine. Things I've already tried: Configuring applications with IP rather that URL of server. Works Changing the name-servers in /etc/resolv.conf--makes no difference. Reinstalling squeeze with a later netinst cd--makes no difference. -- Hugh Lawson hlaw...@triad.rr.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
