openSuse 11.2 Network Problem 3 years 12 weeks ago

Good, I just installed OpenSuse 11.2 and I have a rare Bug to the Internet. When I ping to any page I get this error:

These are the network settings

My network works before but now it has follow issue, when I ping google.com, I got

I've use bridging to connect my box with real network. In Vagrantfile:

config.vm.network :bridged

Then when I ssh to box and try ping any host (e.g.: google.com) then it's pinging but very slow. Resolving host took it ~20sec then each ping is about ~10sec. Briging works only with wlan0 (network is unrichable for eth0). Can it be problem with wifi card? Pinging from my laptop works fine.

Hi,

I am using FC9 and internet is working fine on it. Well, I ping to google, it is resolving but if I ping by hostname to other LAN computers. it gives error : unknown host. but if i ping with IP address it is pinging.

Hi There,

This is my first time using cPanel/WHM and i like it very much, however when i add a (sub)domain to my server i need to restart NAMED manually before it actually applies.

When i add a (sub)domain (example: google.nl) and i PING it on the webserver itself it says:

ping google.nl ping: unknown host google.nl

And when i do 'service named restart' it resolves perfectly.
