I'm experiencing two problems.
1) When it boots, I get an error that it cant start networking. If I run /etc/init.d/network start it outputs:
Code: Select all
Failed to configure ec0 as blue-meanie.
Cannot access primary interface, ec0.
Using standalone network mode.
However, if I then run ifconfig ec0 up, it comes up fine.
2) Now that that is up, I can successfully ping local boxes by ip, but if I ping by name, say alfie,co.dac.int, I get the error:
Code: Select all
ping: alfie.co.dac.int: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution
I've checked the obvious places resolv.conf:
Code: Select all
search co.dac.int
nameserver 10.250.250.88
and I can ping the nameserver. Next I checked nsswitch.conf (just the relevant line):
Code: Select all
hosts: files dns
Any thoughts on this?
