Hi all, I've got an OpenSuSE 11.1 machine on which I get the followingfrom a WiFi network of largely unknown configuration: bepstein@cplvaio:~> host boston.com 127.0.0.1 Using domain server: Name: 127.0.0.1 Address: 127.0.0.1#53 Aliases: boston.com has address 66.151.183.41 Host boston.com not found: 2(SERVFAIL) ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached bepstein@cplvaio:~> telnet boston.com 80 Trying 1.0.0.0... ^C bepstein@cplvaio:~> Can anybody make any sense of this? Why does it first correctly find the address (in this case boston.com = 66.151.183.41) only to then complain about something not being found? Why then upon attempting a telnet the attempt is made to connect to a bogus address (1.0.0.0) as opposed to a real one which would have worked: bepstein@cplvaio:~> telnet 66.151.183.41 80 Trying 66.151.183.41... Connected to 66.151.183.41. Escape character is '^]'. ^] telnet> q Connection closed. bepstein@cplvaio:~> Some background on the issue here: http://technonutsnbolts.blogspot.com/2007/08/web-pandering-to-mr-gates-or.ht...
