Doesn't work with DNS addresses?
I find that DNS does not work for me either. I have a domain name pointing to my IP. However, I am not going thru a router. My iBook using Mac OS X is directly connected to a hub which is connected to my dsl modem. I use the builtin pppoe sfwr in OS X to connect. I changed the apache file to refer to my web server as www.mydomain.ca. (where mydomain is my domain name of course). However, when I try to go to my web page using my domain it fails to work. Also, when I try to ping the IP that is automatically assigned to the PPPoE sfwr it does not reply. However, I am able to browse the internet just fine and am able to ping any other web site url just fine. I can also ping localhost. When I ping 127.0.0.1 I get replies. In my web browser, If I try to access my web pages on my web server I can do so via localhost. so if I type 127.0.0.1 into my web browser it takes me to my web page. when I use nslookup from the command prompt in OS X, it is able to do a reverse lookup on my IP. However, I am unable to ping my IP or my domain name. However, I found that when I hooked my laptop up to my friends cable modem and didn't use PPPoE but instead used a direct TCP/IP connection things worked fine. So I think something is going on with PPPoE. However, I do not understand what is actually happenning and how to force things to work. If anyone has any ideas on this I would appreciate it and it appears that others would also appreciate it. I suspect this same issue that is affecting my DNS is also preventing the original posters DSl/router stuff from working. If anyone has any idea how I can resolve this please let me know how to do it. I tried changing stuff in netinfo to no avail. I also tried modifying /etc/hosts file to no avail. Modifying httpd.conf has no effect on the situation either. I know that if you are not running in single user mode that /etc/hosts is not referrenced. Instead apparently, lookupd is referrenced and is accessed via netinfo. I still have not figured out this netinfo stuff though. I am used to Linux and the command line way of doing things. If anyone can help explain why DNS is not working via PPPoE then please let me know. you can e-mail me at raven_999_69@yahoo.com. If I find out how to do it I will post it to this forum so others will also have the benefit of the additional knowledge. |
