Issue with name resolution in lenny

[adamkay]

Hello,

I installed Lenny on my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop . My NIC is Marvell Yukon 88E8040 PCI-E Fast Ethernet Controller .
I was having trouble browsing websites on Iceweasel so i set network.dns.disableIPv6 to true, and now im able to browse websites , both in Iceweasel and the default browser.
But i have another problem. When i do a apt-get update from console it shows 'Connecting to 1.0.0.0'
My /etc/resolv.conf contains

### BEGIN INFO
#
# Modified_by:  NetworkManager
# Process:      /usr/bin/NetworkManager
# Process_id:   3019
#
### END INFO

nameserver 192.168.1.1

I also disabled ipv6 . However, i noticed a strange thing. If i ping the location in my sources.list, apt-get update works, but after some time it resets back to 1.0.0.0 . If i ping it again, it works and then after sometime back to 1.0.0.0.

My /etc/hosts contains

127.0.0.1	localhost
127.0.1.1	localhost.debox.net	localhost

# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
#::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
#fe00::0 ip6-localnet
#ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
#ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
#ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
#ff02::3 ip6-allhosts

Any way to fix this ?

Thank You.

if your having a problem with name resolving (dns) i would suggest perhaps entering opendns servers into your rsolv.conf

check out open dns here OpenDNS | Providing A Safer And Faster Internet
you could change your /etc/resolv.conf to the following:

### BEGIN INFO
#
# Modified_by:  NetworkManager
# Process:      /usr/bin/NetworkManager
# Process_id:   3019
#
### END INFO

nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 208.67.222.222

note: you have left 192.168.1.1 (this is used to resolv local (LAN) addresses)

Hope this helps
