Weird DNS behavior

SteveDallas · 07-25-2003, 10:15 AM

OK, so my little mini-review of buymusic.com was conducted from my office computer. I tried to look it up at home.. and couldn't get through.

Further investigation revealed that the domain buymusic.com was not being resolved over my DSL connection. I have tried several nameservers and they always come up with nothing returned. But, if I query the same nameservers from somewhere else (say, by ssh'ing to my mail serer at work and using nslookup there), all is happy with the same nameservers that failed from my home connection.

I don't think it's a problem wiht my computer (running winblows 98) because I duplicated the problem with my Red Hat 9 laptop, connected through the same DSL router (a DLink 604).

So it must be the router... or something in the DSL connection. Right?

I already tried resetting the router to factory settings. (I hadn't changed much but the admin password anyway.) Any other suggestions as to what might be causing this?

(And don't tell me it works for you, I know it works for you. I want to figure out why it doesn't work for ME.)
