Question about ping

[drackox]

I setup this freeBSD box and have never run into this problem before.

I can ping from the FreeBSD box just fine, i get ping responses from everywhere.

my resolve.conf file has multiple nameservers and one that points to 127.0.0.1

The problem I am having is, I can not ping the freebsd box from another computer.

The freebsd box has a public IP, which i can ping of course from the box itself, but when I get home and try to ping from a windows box or any other box, it will not ping.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
Mike

Is it possible that you or your web host have ping firewalled? What happens when you run a traceroute back in to your freebsd machine?

 

[drackox]

It will start the traceroute then towards the end it gets all ***


I thought it was ipfw... but in my rc.conf, it's not setup to load ipfw...

I dont know...

 

[bjseiler]

Well, towards the end or at the end?

Looks like either your hosting provider or you have a firewall blocking ping.

I'm not sure...

I'm not sure, but another problem i have is when I do a nslookup on ns1.askrobo.com

it says domain non-existant

but i have another name server pointing to the same server different ip, and it works fine


i cant fig it out

ns1.askrobo.com <- does not work

ns1.clean-innovations.com <- works

same server

if you type ns1.askrobo.com in the browser, it takes you to the default ip is shared page

same if you type ns1.clean-innovations.com

can you help?
