 Posted: Mon Sep 05, 2005 5:06 am Post subject: DomainName won't load, but loads fine for anyone else |
 |
|
This is the picture. I have setup a gentoo webserver with virtualhosting. I have a dynamic IP so I use custom DNS and ddclient to solve that issue. I have two domain names pointing to my server. The first domain is able to be resolved and the site loads fine and can be pinged. The 2nd domain name seems to load up for everyone that trys except for my laptop; which is in the local network. So, I checked on a windows computer in the other room and it loads the domain name just fine. I am unable to ping it with my laptop and the server can't seem to ping the domain name. What the heck is going on. This is unreal.
Please help!  P

Does your laptop use the same name resolvers that the other machines on the network do?

My server and laptop do use the same nameservers in the /etc/resolv.conf file. If I remove the nameservers I can't do any browsing on the net. I'm guessing this is a resolv.conf issue. I'm not sure though.

Try modifying your /etc/hosts file and put a static IP for your website when your are within the same network. I have a similar issue with the DSL router my ISP gave me where it won't allow you to access your own WAN IP via port 80 from within your network.

I don't think that is the issue. I have 3 systems in my local network; behind a NAT and 2 of the systems are Linux and the 1 is window 2k. The m$ machine can get to the site just fine. I think that since the domain name is new, that maybe the Delagation process hasn't finished. To fix the problem until the delagation/propagation finishes, I took one of my 'nameserver' out and replaced it with the nameserver IP of the domain name. That seemed to solve the issue.
I think that the /etc/resolv.conf is weird. Why can't you have more then 3 nameservers? I surely don't understand the search. My cable company puts 3 of its nameservers in there. Without those I can't do anything on the web. Why is that?
Maybe someone can explain this?
