Hi all

I need 9.4 for my specific configuration, but i cannot configure network >:(

My configuration:

deneb:~ # cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1       localhost.localdomain   localhost
192.168.80.10   deneb.my.local     deneb

deneb:~ # cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 192.168.80.1
search my.local

I can ping internet without any problem


deneb:~ # ping google.com
PING google.com (74.125.127.100) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from pz-in-f100.google.com (74.125.127.100): icmp_seq=1 ttl=45 time=197 ms
64 bytes from pz-in-f100.google.com (74.125.127.100): icmp_seq=2 ttl=45 time=193 ms
64 bytes from pz-in-f100.google.com (74.125.127.100): icmp_seq=3 ttl=45 time=193 ms

but, i CANNOT ping any in my.local domain :open_mouth:


deneb:~ # ping dipsy
ping: unknown host dipsy

or


deneb:~ # ping dipsy.my.local
ping: unknown host dipsy.my.local

I can ping dipsy with ip addres

deneb-F50:~ # ping 192.168.80.17
PING 192.168.80.17 (192.168.80.17) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 192.168.80.17: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.587 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.80.17: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.094 ms
64 bytes from 192.168.80.17: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.093 ms

On 10.0 and 10.2 all work perfectly.

Thanks in advance.

You can ping in your local domain, which you prove by your ping to the IP address. But hen you ping to the hostname, ping tells you that this name can not be resolved (tranlated to an IP address). Not only ping, but every trial to connect to dipsy (or dipsy.my.local) with e.g. telnet, ssh, browser will have the same result.

For the resolve to succeed dipsy must be either in your /etc/hosts, or in the DNS server at 192.168.80.1 (something you are aware of). dipsy is not in your /etc/hosts. You could btw test by adding

192.168.80.nn   dipsy.my.local     dipsy

to your /etc/hosts.

So it must be in your DNS server, but you did not show us it is. You tell that other openSUSE levels do function, but you do not show their /etc/hosts, dipsy could be in there.

You can use the *nslookup *and/or *host *utilities to interogate your DNS server.

HTH.

Try adding the following parameter to /etc/host.conf


mdns off

I’m not sure if this applied to 9.4, but currently the default is off
and “.local” addresses are treated as special and are resolved(or not) by
multicast. See:


man host.conf

The above should have read “on”. PV
