If you can ssh into the DNS server, you have an address. My DNS box has my only "real" IP, 216.231.43.140. I can ssh *into* sage/ns1 from my laptops at once; but sshing (*out*) takes at least 2 minutes. This is a major mystery except that in dhcpd.conf I have most of my private servers 'hardwired'; the one that is not listed is not reachable. > > > > > So far, rebooting ns1.thought.org (== sage) and my laptop > > don't change anything. > > It *did* force the laptop to try to renegotiate its lease. > Verbose dhcpd output from ns1 at that time would have told you what > the problem was if it in fact was related to DHCP. Hmmm. Is this the attempt? (10.249) is the laptop.

Also, if the daemon is issuing a lease, why can't I ping from the laptop? or any other server? > > It sounds, though, as though the real problem is related to DNS. You may be right, altho www.dnsreport.com doesn't see anything. If I get my DNS files to you, can you tell? --I've been using bind-9 going on 4 years. After kiddie scripts kept bumping bind-8 off. I'm using v9.3,0 and maybe somethng is misconfigured. gary -- Gary Kline Seattle BSD Users' Group (seabug) | kline@magnesium.net Thought Unlimited Org's Alternate Email Site http://www.magnesium.net/~kline To live is not a necessity; but to live honorably...is a necessity. -Kant
