DNSClient Windows problem (A.K.A nslookup radi sve ostalo ne)

Hehe, posle dužeg vremena naleteh na novi problem pod win kada sam pokušao da koristim DNS iz VM-a pod win.

OK, DNS se vidi, port 53 se javlja ... A/CNAME namešteni ... ubačen IP gde je DNS...

cmd.exe ....



!@#!@$!@$# ... google is your friend ... hmm

Izgleda da je krivac DNS Client servis:

The DNS Client service (dnscache) caches Domain Name System (DNS) names and registers the full computer name for this computer. If the service is stopped, DNS names will continue to be resolved. However, the results of DNS name queries will not be cached and the computer's name will not be registered. If the service is disabled, any services that explicitly depend on it will fail to start.


Čim je isključen svi DNS upiti su odlazili tamo gde treba, a pošto ionako bind 9 je definitivno bolji DNS keš nego on ... click ... disable ... sve je u redu :)

VirtualBox

Put sticker *bang head here* ... use it ... rinse and repeat ....

After managing to install 3 OSes on same machine (should I count macbook's OSX as 4th, hmmm) and juggling some time between them I (finally) remembered that I can simply virtualize ... *more banging*

Now, while my Ubuntu 8.04 LTS server happily ticking in a background VirtualBox (yes, old one but it's (more or less) exact clone of my deployment VPS server) - I got perfect testing grounds for sites before making changes on live server (as soon I finish next, I'll post my adventures with git/virtualenv/fabric/django deployment cycle).

Not to mention that snapshots are great tool to try things and recover after hosing box with some ludicrous setting (etckeeper can save you sometimes but not always).

And finally got a chance to test OpenSolaris without need to add (yet another) HDD in my poor PC :)

Netatalk

Another one bites the dust :)))


Ni ne pokušavajte da koristite netatalk koji dolazi uz ubuntu 5.04, naročito ako koristite OSX. Meni je posle (!?) upgrade-a sa warty-a na hoary prestalo da radi ripovanje sa afp diskova!


Takođe, iz neznanih razloga, na mojoj mašini je sve radilo ok kada priđem preko NFS-a (NFS i OSX, eee to će biti kada se naspavam, horor priče ostavljam za uveče) ili sambe (ne nisu prava pristupa). Ispade kao da sam namerno tako namestio. Moraću da nalovim krivca, Scitex^H^H^H^H^H^HCreo^H^H^H^HKodak nije kriv, nego neka glupost instalirana na druga dva mac-a, ma "iskopaće tebe Bili"™...


Naravno, ok, tu je i Netatalk - Networking Apple Macintosh through Open Source, ali onda genije dovuče CVS, ...., par sati kasnije (i posle gooomile apt-get-ova devel biblioteka), ..., tjmjkbžju, skinem arhivu i ... gle čuda radi ;D


Naravoučenije, nikada ne popravljaj server u petak popodne, naročito kada imaš posla u subotu.
