  • DNS not working after upgrading to OS X 10.2 (Wallstreet PB)

    From Stephen Grady@stephen@gradydotbcdot.ca to comp.sys.mac.portables,comp.sys.mac.system on Saturday, July 05, 2003 09:52:37

    DNS does not work, but TCP/IP is functioning - I can do anything by IP Address, but nothing by domain name.

    I ran 10.1.5 with no problems. Finally was able to upgrade to 10.2 and
    am no longer able to use a domain name for anything. When I did the
    install for 10.2, all my settings were kept. OS 9.2.2 continues to
    function - all my web browsing, email and news group reading now is
    restricted to OS 9. (not entirely true - I use Remote Desktop Control to connect to a server at work and then do somethings that way - only if desparate and not wanting to reboot into OS 9)

    What I have done:
    Removed all other protocols from Networking preferences - only internal ethernet remains.
    Added DNS servers and search domain name as per my OS 9.2.2 system (DNS
    works fine). I am able to ping all the DNS servers.
    Removed all DNS entries (suggested by a friend who does not use any on
    his system).
    Tried the PB at a variety of different locations (home, office, friends)
    - all with different network configurations (servers, routers). In all
    cases OS 9.2.2 works fine, OS X 10.2 does not.

    What I have not done:
    Tried dial-up - never use it anymore.
    Re-installed the OS.

    Any suggestions?

    if you go to the command line and type

    dnsquery www.cnn.com

    what kind of information do you get back?

    okay. what kind of information do you get if you type, in the command line:

    ps ax | grep lookupd

    i.e., is lookupd running?

    We can take this to email if you'd prefer . . . I'll be glad to help you
    work through it although I am a little hazy with how DNS works under OS X.

    Result from ps ax | grep lookupd

    300 ?? Ss 0:01.72 lookupd
    416 std R+ 0:00.02 grep lookupd

    Getting into the UNIX side is not a core strength of mine. Email is fine
    if you like.
