It is somewhat odd, as I get this: $ ping ntp0.dundee.ac.uk PING ntp0.dundee.ac.uk (172.30.254.253) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 443-gb-core-6513.private.dundee.ac.uk (172.30.254.253): icmp_req=1 ttl=254 time=0.281 ms 64 bytes from 443-gb-core-6513.private.dundee.ac.uk (172.30.254.253): icmp_req=2 ttl=254 time=0.303 ms 64 bytes from 443-gb-core-6513.private.dundee.ac.uk (172.30.254.253): icmp_req=3 ttl=254 time=0.332 ms 64 bytes from 443-gb-core-6513.private.dundee.ac.uk (172.30.254.253): icmp_req=4 ttl=254 time=0.376 ms ^C --- ntp0.dundee.ac.uk ping statistics --- 4 packets transmitted, 4 received, 0% packet loss, time 3004ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 0.281/0.323/0.376/0.035 ms
$ host ntp0.dundee.ac.uk ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached $ nslookup ntp0.dundee.ac.uk ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached So ping is able to perform the name-to-IP conversion fine, but host and nslookup both fail! Other 'normal' programs seem to perform address lookup OK (e.g. entering "www.google.com" in firefox, or even ntp if restarted later) so there is something bizarre about the network management. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/999725 Title: broken start-up dependencies for ntp To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ntp/+bug/999725/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
