You can set up a caching nameserver on your local machine that queries the root DNS servers fairly easily. That way you could be sure if it was their DNS servers or not (by not using theirs). Have you tried another web browser (ie lynx, opera, mozilla) to see if it's netscape? Can you ftp to remote sites without problem? -Marc ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy Stewart" <astewart@world.std.com> To: "WLUG" <wlug@mail.wlug.org> Sent: Saturday, February 24, 2001 10:20 AM Subject: [Wlug] Network problem: mine or theirs?
Hi all,
I have a problem accessing the Internet. On precisely every other
attempt, I
get failures.
For example, every other unique URL I click in Netscape gives me the following error:
A network error occurred while Netscape was receiving data. (Network error: connection reset by peer) Try connecting again.
I suspect that my network provider's DNS server is having problems. Since I'm a DHCP client of AT&T Broadband, I tried removing all but one of the nameserver lines in the /etc/resolv.conf file to see if one of them was flaky. After trying all 3 provided nameservers uniquely, either this isn't the problem, or they're all flaky.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Andy
