| Posted by Chikita, 08-31-2007, 02:32 PM | | thi is how my resolv looks like
domain sms.kaik100.info
nameserver 38.100.42.26
nameserver 38.100.42.27

| Posted by Chikita, 08-31-2007, 02:47 PM | | all websites work fine !
i am on dedicated server.
only problem is i can not ping any website other than the same network.
like can nt ping google etc..

| Posted by Cristi4n, 08-31-2007, 02:51 PM | | david has a point. The sites will work even if the resolvers do not. Before requesting enything to your isp, try and stop the firewall and then try pinging again, if it does not work then talk to your ISP or DC

| Posted by FirmbIT, 08-31-2007, 02:55 PM | | Are those the correct IPs in resolv.conf? Run ip addr to make sure they are allocated to your server.
|
| Posted by Chikita, 08-31-2007, 03:09 PM | | yeh ips are fine.
thats kinda strange problem :/
|
| Posted by david510, 08-31-2007, 03:24 PM | | Try adding this entry to the /etc/resolv.conf file and have a check. Make these as the first entries in the file.
nameserver 4.2.2.1
nameserver 4.2.2.2

| Posted by whmcsguru, 08-31-2007, 03:41 PM | | DNS Resolvers being down can cause many issues from mail failing to what you're seeing here. The best response is not to use local ip addresses (as shown here) for a resolver, but to use something like OpenDNS resolvers. I've been using their own resolvers (on my servers and in my home network) for about a year now, and they haven't let me down yet.

| Posted by ximi, 08-31-2007, 03:51 PM | | I'd say it's an issue with ping/your firewall if you can't ping any hosts. Also as an alternative to OpenDNS, there is the 4.2.2.1 to 4.2.2.6 range of name servers. They're pretty quick all over.
