Hi, I'm stuck here.
I started having problems connecting to one of my account at Duke.
it is an ACPUB account, ac opposed to EGR account that is working.
I give their names here so you can understand the following output.
I read DNS HOWTO and used nslookup command to find out the following:
Default Server: dukedns1.netcom.duke.edu
Address: 152.3.250.1
Server: dukedns1.netcom.duke.eduQuote:> me1.egr.duke.edu
Address: 152.3.250.1
Name: me1.egr.duke.edu
Address: 152.16.101.1
Server: dukedns1.netcom.duke.eduQuote:> godzilla.acpub.duke.edu
Address: 152.3.250.1
*** dukedns1.netcom.duke.edu can't find godzilla.acpub.duke.edu: Non-existent host/domain
Server: dukedns1.netcom.duke.eduQuote:> teer14.acpub.duke.edu
*** dukedns1.netcom.duke.edu can't find teer14.acpub.duke.edu: Non-existent host/domain
Address: 152.3.250.1
Server: dukedns1.netcom.duke.eduQuote:> set q=ns
> duke.edu.
Address: 152.3.250.1
duke.edu nameserver = dukedns1.netcom.duke.edu
duke.edu nameserver = dukedns2.netcom.duke.edu
duke.edu nameserver = dukedns3.netcom.duke.edu
dukedns1.netcom.duke.edu internet address = 152.3.250.1
dukedns2.netcom.duke.edu internet address = 152.3.250.2
dukedns3.netcom.duke.edu internet address = 128.109.131.40
Server: dukedns1.netcom.duke.eduQuote:> acpub.duke.edu.
Address: 152.3.250.1
*** dukedns1.netcom.duke.edu can't find acpub.duke.edu.: No response from server
Server: dukedns1.netcom.duke.eduQuote:> egr.duke.edu.
Address: 152.3.250.1
egr.duke.edu nameserver = dukedns3.netcom.duke.edu
egr.duke.edu nameserver = dukedns2.netcom.duke.edu
egr.duke.edu nameserver = ee.duke.edu
dukedns3.netcom.duke.edu internet address = 128.109.131.40
dukedns2.netcom.duke.edu internet address = 152.3.250.2
ee.duke.edu internet address = 152.3.17.193
as you can see I can access my EGR account because the DNS server can
find egr.duke.edu. At the same time I can not access my ACPUB account
because DNS can't find acpub.duke.edu. Some people suggested that I ask
Duke network people about that, but I think there's no need becasue
from win95 I CAn access my ACPUB acount - so there's something wrong
here on my Linux system, that I can't find yet. To me all the files
that I looked at while reading DNS-HOWTO look fine, but I might be
wrong. Any ideas where these beast sits?
Thanks a lot
PS. I know the IP address of say godzilla.acpub.duke.edu (from above),
so I telneted it with telent 152.3.233.44 and it works, too
