Error

Hi all,

Today when i first tried to access lab by useing my linux machine i got error that "temprary failure in name resolution" what does it eman??

What i did was open terminal and type >>telnet.

Then i wrote open ciscolab.no-ip.org:xxxx

But it didn't work

PS. I was working on fedora core 6 wiht firefox 1.4.

Let me know it so i can correct my mystake next time..

Sounds like a DNS error, did you try resolving any other addresses to ensure that your DNS Settings are correct and that you can connect to your DNS Server ?

Sorry, only work with windows so i have no idea how you do this, in Windows (if its the same) you have a nslookup utility to check DNS resolution. Alternativley you could just ping a name and see if it resolves to an ip.

If all this is ok and working then it could be possible that the sites DNS servers weren't responding (went through a phase of this a good few months ago where we were experiencing intermittent DNS issues).

Cheers
