Dnetc

[Guest]

I want to use the program dnetc (RC% distributed net)

It runs on all my pc's only under gentoo it is not working

I can not fetch or fluch packages

It says something about unresolved euro.v27.distributed.net

But when i do ping euro.v27.distributed.net it pings it without any trouble

Enyone know

Ummm... I had the same problem and had to specify the ip of the keyserve for ages on the command line.

I fixed it by downloading a new version of the client, dunno what was wrong :|

You might want to try that :)

I tried djbdns for my dns cache and distributed.net couldnt resolve keyservers. Tried distributed.net with bind and it could resolve them fine.

Seems like dnet needs either libs or programs that come with bind and that djbdns does differently.

I might send an email to the dnet team about this.

A work around is to give the option select keyserver autmaticly the value no

Then a new question is there to add your keyservername

Give in it's ip adres and things are working

[mb]

same problem here....

i tried to put ip - hostname in the /etc/hosts but no success... i also put ip in the config file..

strange...

#mb

It can not resolv the ip adres of the keyserver (i know very strange )

Give a dnetc -config

go to option 2 then choose option 6

Set option 2 to No (Automaticly select a Keyserver )

Then in option 3 give the ipadres of a keyserver 130.161.38.67

The it all works great

Good Luck

You could also just emerge bind-tools. Works for me.

Thanks for heads up about bind
emerge -u bind-tools solved the problem so nicely.
