What's the actual error message? It could be a name resolution issue, if one thing works and others don't.
No error, just times out/hangs. Actually whois is also not working. Also just hangs. In /var/log message I do have the following:
Jan 31 06:22:08 localhost restorecond: Will not restore a file with more than one hard link (/etc/resolv.conf) No such file or directory Jan 31 06:22:10 localhost restorecond: terminated Jan 31 06:22:10 localhost restorecond: Will not restore a file with more than one hard link (/etc/resolv.conf) Success
I ran find -samefile /etc/resolve.conf to identify what files had hard links to this file (ls -l showed two hard links) and it hit on this file in addition to the actual file above: /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf
The contents of /etc/resolve.conf is:
; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script nameserver ##.#.###.## nameserver ##.#.###.## search localdomain
I neutered the IPs obviously.
Thanks,
Jacques
