Re: queer dns access problem

Earlier you said you could ssh out of the broken box. Can you ssh to the

start a packet capture while you attempt a dns lookup? This might show us
if it is related to firewalling or routing.


If by the same segment, you mean within the same 10.1.5.x domain, I can
ssh if I use the IP number to the same segment (there are errors, but it
ultimately succeeds), but I cannot ssh out of the segment, with or without
IP number. Also, I can ssh into the broken box from within the segment.


[see below]

there is no 10.1.5.x segment, there is only a 10.x segment. You have both the working and non working box in the same network. I would be double checking hte network masks at this point as it does sound like you have a network masking problem. It may also help to know what boxes (ip ranges) are working and what ones are not, what exactly are you testing to.

like

on box a i can ssh to (using ip addresses)

10.1.5.1
10.1.6.1

but not 10.100.6.1

but 202.1.4.5 works as well

on box b all of the above work.

you could also try making your subnet masks smaller, your gateway is in 10.1.1.2 ? try reducing your mask to a /21 (255.255.248.0) and see if that allows you to reach the dns servers - at this point tho, you should really be getting a network tech involved or someone who has access to the dns servers and see how they are configured.

OK. Is the /8 netmask a cut and paste error too?
No, it is correct.

Your trouble could be a routing issue: 10.1.5.58/8 and
10.1.1.46/8 are
on the same subnet as far as the network layer is concerned so
there
is
no reason to go to the default route. Thats why I asked for a
traceroute too -- or mtr if you have it installed and it will
