recently and without any configuration changes being done i started to have this error posted on syslog when a client tries to access some of my lan servers like ftpd and rsyncd
Quote:
warning: host name/address mismatch


no matter what i do and change i always get it somehow:

Code:
warning: host name/address mismatch: 59.152.135.31 != dsldevice.lan
warning: host name/address mismatch: speedtouch.lan != modem
warning: host name/address mismatch: dsldevice.lan!= modem


Quote:

59.152.135.31is not a known address for "speedtouch.lan": spoofed address?
connect from UNKNOWN (59.152.135.31)

i have set "modem" and "speedtouch" on /etc/hosts to point to the dslmodem and i have confirmed the ips and they all match
dsldevice speedtouch and modem all have the same ip and i can ping it and get the reply.

from the modem side; i have all the ports open and forward for the lan ip. in fact i only have this error with 2 daemons so far ( ftpd and rsyncd ).

Locally i can access them but from the wan side i cant.

the box hostname points to the box local ip and it is also set in /etc/hosts and on glftpd.

does anyone have any ideia abouit what might be causing this ?

Can you please post your /etc/resolv.conf from a client and from the server?

Cheers!

The nameserver in /etc/resolv.conf is the same ip as the modem/gateway where the servers are hosted

It just disappeared. I did not do anything other than my regular updates. I have no clue what happened.
if you find a way to fix yours; add a reply to my topic.
