Static IP configuration problem

P

ProgrammerGuy

Hello everyone, I am trying to set up a DNS and web server on my FreeBSD installation. My FreeBSD version is 9 and it's running on VMWare virtual machine. I set my network card mode to bridged.

My /etc/rc.conf file:
Code: 
hostname="home.domain"
keymap="usa.iso.kbd"
ifconfig_em0="inet 192.168.10.10 netmask 255.255.255.0"
defaultrouter="192.168.10.1"
sshd_enable="YES"
#set dumpdev to "AUTO" to enable crash dumps, "NO" to disable
dumpdev="AUTO"
#--sysinstall generated deltas -- # Sat Mar 16 07:56:30 2013
keympa="hr.iso.kbd"

My /etc/resolve.conf:
Code: 
nameserver 195.222.32.10

But when I try to ping google.com I get this:
Code: 
ping:cannot resolve google.com: Host name lookup failure

I tried to reset netif and router from rc.d. This is what I get for [cmd=]/etc/rc.d/router restart[/cmd]:
Code: 
delete net default : gateway 192.168.10.1
delete net ::ffff:0.0.0.0: gateway ::1
delete net ::0.0.0.0: gateway ::1
delete net fe80::: gatway ::1
delete net ff02::: gateway ::1
ifconfig: interface auto does not exist
add net default : gateway 192.168.10.1
add net ::ffff:0.0.0.0: gateway ::1
add net ::0.0.0.0: gateway ::1
add net fe80::: gateway ::1
add net ff02::: gateway ::1

My question is what's going on? Also I can't connect via Putty I get connection. I tried for couple of days to figure it out but nothing I tried on google, but nothing. Thanks in advance.
 
There are several problems evident:

1. "sysinstall generated deltas" means you are using sysinstall(8) to edit things. Please stop using that, just use a normal editor to edit config files.

2. Typo: keympa="hr.iso.kbd"

3. Probably the main problem: you have resolve.conf, but that filename is not spelled that way. It should be resolv.conf.
 
To check DNS you should use dig(1).

Code: 
[cmd=#]grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf[/cmd]

nameserver [color=blue]213.133.98.98[/color]
nameserver 213.133.99.99

[cmd=#]  dig www.freebsd.org[/cmd]

Here dig(1) uses the first nameserver listed in /etc/resolv.conf.

If you this does not work you can specify your nameserver:
Code: 
[cmd=#] dig www.netbsd.org @195.222.32.10[/cmd]

; <<>> DiG 9.8.3-P4 <<>> www.netbsd.org @195.222.32.10

My query is refused, probably because I am not a client from your ISP bih.net.ba:
Code: 
[cmd=#] dig +short -x 195.222.32.10[/cmd]
ns1.bih.net.ba.


Because of the recursion requested but not available error it is possible that you specified the wrong nameserver in your /etc/resolv.conf:

Code: 
[cmd=#]# dig +norecurse -t ns bih.net.ba @195.222.32.10[/cmd]

As you can see this non-recursive DNS request works.

There are 2 possiblities:

  1. Your ISP has configured their nameservers to be authoritative as well as recursive. And they do not allow IP addresses outside their IP range to use their recursive resolving nameservers.

    In this case the error I get in resolving http://www.netbsd.org is normal. You, as your customer, using one of their IP addresses, should not see this error.


  2. Your ISP has separate nameservers for queries about their bih.net.ba domain (authoritative nameserver) and another set of recursive resolving nameservers using different IP addresses that only can be used by their customers.

    In this case you will get the same error as me, because authoritative nameservers only can answer queries about the domain they are responsible/authoritative for. You really need to find out the addresses of their recursive resolving nameservers.
 
When I enter # dig [url]http://www.freebsd.org[/url] @195.222.32.10
Code: 
;;<<>>DiG 9.8.1 - P1 <<>> www.freebsd.org  @195.222.32.10

What is the output of # ifconfig and # netstat -rn -f inet?

Can you ping your loopback address and yahoo?:
Code: 
[cmd=#] ping -c2 127.0.0.1[/cmd]

PING 127.0.0.1 (127.0.0.1): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.034 ms
64 bytes from 127.0.0.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=0.031 ms


[cmd=$]# ping -c2 87.248.122.122[/cmd]

PING 87.248.122.122 (87.248.122.122): 56 data bytes

# ping [url]http://www.yahoo.com[/url]
Code: 
ping: cannot resolve www.yahoo.com : Host name lookup failure
When I try to ping an IP address in this case google ip address
# ping 216.239.51.99
Code: 
ping: sendto : No route to host
I can ping localhost it's apsolutly fine.
# netstat -rn -f inet

Your setup looks good. But it looks like the router on 192.168.10.1 doesn't know where to go next.
