According to sniffer output, the dns query goes out fine and the response comes back just fine. However, my machine then replies to the dns server with an ICMP "port unreachable message"... regardless of the ephemeral port used by my machine as the source port for the dns query. nestat -s also shows the following udp counters incrementing: "x dropped due to no socket" "y dropped due to full socket buffers" The output of "sysctl -a", for the relevant variables, seems fine... when compared to that of another machine which is working correctly. I can ping ip addresses just fine, however because name-resolution is broken, there isn't a whole lot of "networking" going on. There are no firewalls configured on the broken system. Any help or pointers would be greatly appreciated. thanks, Rach To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-net" in the body of the message
