[ale] nslookup works, ping doesn't ???

[greg.freemyer at gmail.com (Greg Freemyer)]

All,

Opensuse 11.2

I've just had a problematic upgrade of a fileserver.

(I ran out of diskspace on the upgrade as well as some other issues.)

Anyway, I can now boot to init 3, but my nameserver resolution is not working.

I think I have the NIC set correctly in yast (ncurses version).

I can ping local machines by IP.

I can do:
nslookup yahoo.com 127.0.0.1
and
nslookup yahoo.com 10.0.1.44 ? (my desired primary dns server)

Both those give the expected result.

But "ping yahoo.com" comes back with unknown host.

What gives?

fyi: resolv.conf is not used in this distro.  I see 10.0.1.44 as my
nameserver down in /etc/sysconfig/network/config, but I don't know if
it is working.

Thanks
Greg
