How does this happen?
Code:
[root@my-server ~]# ping -c 1 www.google.com
PING www.google.com (173.194.70.105) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from fa-in-f105.1e100.net (173.194.70.105): icmp_req=1 ttl=41 time=132 ms
--- www.google.com ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 1 received, 0% packet loss, time 0ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 132.457/132.457/132.457/0.000 ms
[root@my-server ~]# ping -c 1 pop.mail.yahoo.com
PING pop.mail.yahoo.com (67.215.65.132) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from hit-nxdomain.opendns.com (67.215.65.132): icmp_req=1 ttl=54 time=93.7 ms

Consequence of this is that pop getmail constantly fails...
Using wicd, wired with fixed IP fixed DNS behind a Billion BiPAC 7800N router.
this was working until fairly recently. I have changed something starting with hostname, then DNS on the router (thinking VirginMedia was redirecting DNS calls), finally DHCP with fixed DNS on the local machine then fixed IP and DNS on the local machine. (The system is headless, in the loft, so when network connectivity is lost I need it to pick up again hence wicd)
my-server and mydomain are anonymous-ised
Code:
[root@my-server ~]# hostname
my-server.mydomain.co.uk
...and WTF is all this mess?...
Code:
[root@my-server ~]# cat /etc/hosts
# hostname my-athlon-fedora added to /etc/hosts by anaconda
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain my-server localhost.localdomain localhost my-server
192.168.55.4 my-server.mydomain.co.uk my-server
::1 localhost.localdomain my-server localhost6.localdomain6 localhost6 localhost my-server
