Destination 169.254.0.0
Hi Guys,
I am new to linux but i am enjoying everybit of the learning process. I am currently faced with two problems and any 50% answer will be "halvely" appreciated. 1) Whenever I type the command netstat -r, I notice that the IP address of the machine is not listed. Instead, there is an entry 169.254.0.0. Is this normal as I dont have problem pinging this machine using the correct IP address? 2) My nslookup produces "Non-authoritative answer: Can't find www.x.y; No answer". What is not right with my config. Thanks |
Hi and welcome to LQ!
The IP address 169.254.0.0 is the network address assigned to an interface when dhcp fails to obtain an IP address - t least as far as I recall! Actually, as an aside, when you come back and visit this thread, if you scroll down to the bottom of the page, you will see a Similar Threads section... ;) As for your nslookup issue, that means that your DNS servers aren't set up correctly or are currently unreachable, not responding or otherwise incommunicado. Check that they are listed in /etc/resolv.conf - the format of this file should be: Code:
