Good move. > I guess my next step will be to try out wireshark. Sounds like a good step/useful longer term tool etc. But you might start with some ping testing and perhaps other tests? traceroute? Not sure sorry, but I find ping a good basic start. Ping one domain, check resolv time, change pdnsd config + reload it, ping another domain etc. Also, you are in a great position for comparative config checking: confirm that B is good, A is bad, then on both A and B: cat /etc/resolv.conf ifconfig route -n Just some basic comparison checking of course, might give a clue. Also, have you checked your router/modem/w-a-p config? Good luck Zenaan -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
