DNS Stopped Working -- I'm confused!

Ok. I read numerous articles (Hoffman Labs included) and have posted previous discussion threads on various versions of this issue. I feel that I have a somewhat functional yet growing knowledge of the proper setup techniques. I had my public facing DNS setup and functional for over 2 weeks on my OSX server. All of a sudden, this morning, the hostnames were not resolving. Other sites being hosted on this server but DNS zones handled elsewhere are functional. (ie. aplusducks.com)
; <<>> DiG 9.6.0-APPLE-P2 <<>> waterengineltd.com any +multiline +nocomments +nocmd +noquestion +nostats +search
;; global options: +cmd
**NO RESULTS**
traceroute returns "unknown host"
1. I restarted the services: Web, NAT, and DNS. No Luck!
2. Restarted the entire server. No Luck!
2. Using Hoffman Lab's "DNS Tips: Establishing a DNS Server on Snow Leopard" and "Public DNS, Public IP, and Remote Server Access" articles removed all DNS zones and started over.
Existing "starting over" settings:
QUESTION: What am I doing wrong if anything. Previously I did not use the ip address in the Nameservers:->"nameserver hostname" fields. All sites resolve fine on local network problem is connecting from outside the local network.
Thanks in advance for the help.

At the top domain .com the NS's for waterengineltd.com must either be referred by IP numbers or by another domain NS's by name that is reachable by IP numbers.
(What came first - the hen or the egg?)
(I don't know how this was found without the correct info above so maybe that info is right but:)
host -v -t NS waterengineltd.com 108.77.55.234
Using domain server:

Same for ns1.waterengineltd.com
Seems those NS records are missing
And the reverse for 108.77.55.234:

Should work though...
Also
dig ns1.waterengineltd.com
;; QUESTION SECTION:
;ns1.waterengineltd.com. IN A
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
waterengineltd.com. 10800 IN SOA ns0.waterengineltd.com. ->
dns_admin.waterengineltd.com.waterengineltd.com.
there is probably a "." missing at the end in the DNS GUI at mail address for the dns admin : "dns_admin.waterengineltd.com" (should be "dns_admin.waterengineltd.com.") - without the ending "." it will add the second "waterengineltd.com."

[SOLVED] DNS stops working

Hi!
I'm running arch64 on my Thinkpad x220 and have a strange problem here.
Sometimes DNS just stops working, to rule out a bad Server I tried it with the one of Google:
dig @8.8.8.8 archlinux.puzzle.ch
On Archlinux dig tells me that no servers could be reached, although I can successfully ping 8.8.8.8.
Running MacOSX on another machine in the same network, dig gives me back the matching a-record.
This usually lasts from a few minutes up to about two hours, only on archlinux. Does somebody have any idea on this?

You are right, the manpage says 'dig @server query' but it seems to work either way. Maybe you can try 'tcptraceroute 8.8.8.8 53', it will probe tcp port 53 directly, although not the same as a "normal" dns query that will use udp [1] it will be quite close.

LRT214 DNS Proxy stops working

Hi,
I have been using the LRT214 for a few months now. I have a few hostnames in the 'Internal DNS list' for internal devices. So I set DHCP to use 'DNS Proxy' and then set the LRT214 to use google dns.
It works well most of the time - clients can resolve internal dns that I configure on the LRT and they are proxied to google dns for everything else.
However about once a month the DNS proxy/server on the LRT stops working and doesn't resolve anything anymore. The only way to get it back is to reboot the LRT and it then starts working immediately.
This is very frustrating for my users and I am considering replacing the device. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
Rob

What firmware version are you running?
An option would be to run a DNS Server on your LAN.

So confused my card reader has stopped working again

My card reader has stopped working again. It's done this before and I just uninstalled it and then downloaded and installed the Ricoh Driver from Toshiba's website and that fixed it right up.
This time though it's not working. Here's the confusing part. When I download the Ricoh Driver and Open it it shows it's extracting the Ricoh Card Reader Driver which is good. Then the next screen says Welcome to the Logix Pro 500 Simulator Setup Wizard.
Now Logix Pro is my dh's PLC/electrical program. Why are these getting crossed over? What can I do to fix my reader?
I have the A305-S6905 with Vista.
Thanks!

Never mind! I figured it out. I was trying to download it with Firefox. I tried again using Internet Explorer and it works perfectly now!
Thank goodness!

Confused, Since last CC app Update Core Sync continually stops working.

This is occurring with a window popping up stating 'Core Sync has stopped working' more than once an hour, on both my laptop and desktop, both running Windows 7 64bit.
I just spent over 40 minutes on the phone with adobe tech support, to finally be told to turn file sync off in the creative cloud app at some point, and then being instructed to sign out and sign back in to the CC app, whereupon I was told the issue was fixed.
I asked if I could turn sync back on, and was told no, as the problem would recur. I asked then how I was supposed to use file sync then, and the tech simply disconnected. Shortly after this, the window popped up again though file sync was still paused.
So spending this time has solved nothing, I still have this problem on both my computers, support simply bailed on me, and I'm paying $50/month for this...and the window just popped up again.
How do I fix this other than simply turning the creative Cloud app off? I have looked through the forums some, but only seemed to find problems and not solutions.

I have the same problem, on a Windows 7 Pro computer (Dell Vostro 64-bit)
Description:
I updated Adobe Creative Cloud application, then some of the Adobe applications, about three days ago.
Since that time, I get a "Core Sync crashed" Windows error message box about once every hour.
Below is the Windows-supplied diagnostic (in french)
Please do something.
It is unacceptable from a decent software company to 1-deliver untested software 2-let users in the dark.

Itunes has stopped working when trying to open store

I have gone through the uninstall/reinstall many times. Redid host file. Flush dns. Have tried many things. I noticed on one conversation on here. To go to the Action Center and click on itunes. It is saying a fault in the webkit.dll. I have no clue what that means or what I need to do to fix the problem.
I did notice that when I uninstalled the last time that when I reinstalled I no longer had Quicktime. So installed that, but still no luck
I have Norton 360 and Windows 7 64 on my laptop. We also have a desktop with the same, but the desktop is able to open the store. I am a tad confused on why mine is not. I can open itunes see the library then when I hit the itunes store it sits for awhile then it comes up with itunes has stopped working. Please if someone could help.

It shows in my downloads, starts downloading, and when it gets to the end of a song, I get the message "iTunes has stopped working" and choices to close or debug, etc.
Head into your Problem Reports and Solutions control panel (or the Windows 7 equivalent) and open your Problem History. Look for iTunes Problems reports that seemed to occur at the time that you had the Store troubles.
Open the reports and have a look through them. Do they all seem to say the same thing? If so, paste the contents of a typical report into a reply here. (Fingers crossed, that may give us a heads up on the cause of the errors.)

I tried reinstalling it, and I also tried to uninstall it and install it in a newly created admin user account. But I am still having the same problem when starting iTunes.
Please help. Thanks.

Hello,
I've been unable to use my iTunes ever since upgrading to v10.6 Today with the new roll out of v10.6.1 I ran the fresh update hoping the issue would be resolved... After the update, Same CRASH issue at opening... I was able to FIX this on my own after messing around with an extremely confusing support article. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1717
Try doing this troubleshoot and see if it helps you, it worked great for me! After I moved the first folder location listed below, my iTunes was fixed! I have since deleted that folder I had moved earlier and iTunes it's still working like a charm. I've also re-wrote the instructions for you more clearly then apple did.
Remove iTunes Preference files
Some of the files that iTunes uses to store it's settings and preferences may be unusable and cause issues. iTunes has two folders where it's preferences are saved. Move one of the folders to another folder location ie. (my documents, etc.) and try opening and running itunes to test. This is to see if the issue persists after removing these files. If the issue does not persist, simply delete the moved folder and enjoy using iTunes! However, If the issue still persists, move the folder back to where it was originally and try the same process again, this time moving the second folder. The location for the two preference folders are:
C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
C:\Users\username\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\iTunes
Really hope this helps you!

My Samba server stopped working and I have no idea why.

I set up a samba server once I got arch installed and it was working like a boss for about a month. Then one day (i think the machine may have rebooted) it just stopped working. I can't access my samba share from any of my other machines (all running Windows 7). I hadn't changed anything so I don't know what the culprit is. I did some update and looked at the smb.conf file but everything seems to be in order. I also tried to connect with smbclient from the machine itself and I get an NT_STATUS_CONNECTION_REFUSED error.
What's going on?
Here is my smb.conf
# This is the main Samba configuration file. You should read the
# smb.conf(5) manual page in order to understand the options listed
# here. Samba has a huge number of configurable options (perhaps too
# many!) most of which are not shown in this example

Hi,
My thought is to check the current IP of the server, as your smb.conf has the line interfaces = 192.168.1.109 which means samba will only listen on that interface for requests. If the IP of the server has changed, that would explain why samba isn't working.

Same exact thing with me. And no help from apple. Just dropped nearly $600 and cannot get a decent working setup.
Apple's only suggestion was to uninstall iTunes and Quicktime, and re-install... of course (the I.T. Crowd tactic).
The crash happens only on iTunes store access.

Windows keeps giving me "itunes has stopped working" error message when I start itunes? How can i fix this?

After downloading the newest version, 10.6.1, whenever I open itunes I almost immediately get a "itunes has stopped working" error messsage, in which the only option is to hit the "close the program" button. Simply closing the error message closes the program as well. I am operated under windows XP with the latest updates (or so the updater tells me). It seems like its getting stuck trying to send me a new user agreement because dont you have to agree to one for every new update? It just can't seem to get past that point. I tried opening it up in safe mode but that didnt work either. Any help would be greatly appeciated.

Looks like itunes was still trying to communicate with my iphone and got confused when it couldnt find it. Found this in another post and it worked great.
Solution:
Make sure you are not connected to the internet and then open itunes. Sync your phone and then enable the internet again. Then stay connected to the internet and close your itunes and reopen it. Bam problem solved.

Click to Tweet and Facebook Posts from Notification Center Stopped Working????!

Ok right now I am REALLY confused. About a week ago, I went to post something on twitter. Naturally, instead of having to go to twitter.com and signing in, I used the Notification center "Click to Tweet" button to make my post. It worked just as you would expect. The little screen popped up, I typed my post and tweeted it.
Just a few days ago, both the Tweet and Facebook Post buttons stopped working. I can click on them all I want, but the little index card-like screen never shows up. I don't know what the issue is, since I had both buttons working a few days ago. To try solving the issue I:
1. Went into the settings for notifications and "Hid" the buttons from Notification center (that didn't work)
2. Removed both my accounts from my laptop and re-added them (that didn't work)
3. Checked to see that the password was correctly typed in... it was (and that still didn't work)
The only thing I have left to do is try shutting down my laptop and restarting it. However I recently had some iPhoto software updates that required the laptop to be restarted. Even though this was after the problem started, it still didn't fix it.
One more thing to note is that in Safari where the "Share" button is... that still works fine. I shared a website I was on to Facebook and it posted successfully. The only problem is the functions in Notification Center.
If anybody has a solution to this issue where the Tweet and Facebook Post buttons stop functioning for Notification center, I would really appreciate it. Thanks

NOTE- One other thing. Notifications from Facebook and Twitter still work, however. For instance, I just got a friend request approved on Facebook and that appeared as it should with the little banner notification as well as it appearing in my list of notifications. Somebody re-tweated my tweet and that appeared there too. The only thing that isn't working is the posting features.

Same thing with me but the Safari thing also doesn't work. I recently changed my twitter username so I thought that might be the problem, but no it isn't. Unfortunately, I can only complain with you, not help you, I apologize, Dan!
What computer+ Mac os are you using? I am MacBook Pro with 10.8.4?

BBM & Email stop working every morning....

Every morning my BBM, Whatsapp, Email and Facebook notifications stop working....
BBM has a red clock when sending and doesn't receive and the others don't receive or send anything...
The only fix has been pulling the battery or doing a soft reset with ctrl+alt+delete.
I have tried reinstalling the apps, reinstalling the OS (don't know how to format and reinstall tho)
Can anyone give me some solutions? Does it sound like a hardware problem?
My phone is a brand new out the box Blackberry Curve 8520, its got an etisalat sim card as I live in Dubai if that matters.

Cat and Maximo,

Yes. That's what it looks like.

Everyone browsing via BM proxy continues with no interuption.
The mail server can telnet to any other server on the internal LAN but
nothing past BM. DNS continues working for the mail server too.
> If really nothing changed, this might be a (succesful) DOS attack of

Do you mean port scan the BM server?
I know that "nothing has changed" is a loaded statement. The only thing
(that I know of) that has changed relatively recently is the addition of
the Squid server. It has been running behind the BM server for about 3
weeks. Recently I added a filter exception allowing the Squid server to
access higher ports (dyn/tcp).
But, as I noted before, I think removing ipflt should eliminate any
doubts there. Is there some way Squid could be corrupting something there?
The problem was compounded this morning (saturday). I came in today so I
would have the network essentially to myself. But, to my surprise,
everything was ok.
Cat, You're right. This server is no spring chicken. It is an IBM
Netfinity 3000. Its probably 3 or 4 years old (maybe more). I will think
about this as a hardware problem but I just wish the thing would die
altogether and get it over with. :o)
Thanks,
Brian

Hi, i have an IPod Touch 4g. One of the earphones just stops working after while,no matter how many times i replace them. What do i do?

Hi, i bought my IPod 4G about 7 months ago. After about a mont of buying them, one the earphones just stopped working which became extremely annoying..so i bought a new set of earphones and they worked well for about 5/6 months and then one of them stopped working as well. About 2 weeks ago, i bought a new set of earphones and now the right earphone of that has stopped working as well. The thing is, the earphone doesnt just stop working on my IPod, it also stops working on my laptop...and now i am very confused as to where the problem lies. I can't keep buying headphones every other week cos that is just too expensive and i dont know if the problem lies with my IPod or what! The same thing is happening to my sister's IPod as they were purchased at the same time. What do we do??

This previous discussion discusses the same if not similar problem.

Speech Recognition stops working after a minute of nonuse

I'm a grad student trying to keep from exacerbating my carpal tunnel and just figured out how to use the voice commands on my macbook. So far, they work great, they hear my voice, it does what I tell it to do, and I'm not constantly hitting apple+tab and apple+c and apple+v and so on, which really helps my wrists!
BUT. If I go for more than a minute or two without using a voice command, it stops working. I can't pinpoint anything else that triggers it other than if I stop using it for a little bit while I'm reading a paper or something. The microphone is calibrated and working, the little black arrows and the blue and green bars flash on the widget like it hears me, but then it won't give me the sound that says the command was recognized and it doesn't perform the command any time I try to use it again after a few minutes of not being used. It's like the recognition part goes to sleep and won't wake up.
If I go to the system preferences and toggle Speakable Itemst off and then on again, it starts working again until another minute or two of non-use. If I use spoken commands constantly, it will stay on for a good long while, but I'm not using it constantly that's the end of speech recognition. I really can't stop to just tell it some unneeded command to keep it awake all the time! Eventually, the computer gets confused if I turn the "speakable items" on and off too many times from the System Preferences, and it gets confused about whether or not it's turned on or off, or the widget disappears but the System Preferences panel thinks the Speakable Items is on.
I read somewhere that other people with a newer OS have a similar problem if they don't use the default speaking voice, so I switched to Alex and restarted, and the same thing is still happening.
I'm running 10.5.8, and using safari, word 2011, preview, nothing too crazy. My speech recognition is in "Listen only while key is pressed" mode, and like I said, works great until I stop using it for a minute or so. I'm using the internal microphone on my MacBook (dob circa 2008). Any tips on how I can actually keep my Speech Recognition useful? Thanks in advance!

OK, I have one more question now, seems to be the same as this question which was never answered years ago:
Speakable Commands>Application Switching -- how to delete items?
When I click on the triangle from the speech command widget and open speech commands, there is a TON of stuff there that I'll never ever use, but these things do not appear in the Library/Speech/Speakable Items folder so that I might be able to delete them. For example, one item I'd like to turn off is just the word "Home" and the computer keeps thinking that I said "Home" instead of whatever else I meant to say. Another keeps opening iChat or Mail, when I say "open new window" or something like that. I tried clicking, control clicking, option clicking, nothing will highlight a command in the Speech Commands window so that I might delete it.
The "Home" command only shows up when I'm using Word, in the "front window" list. However, the Application Speakable Items/Microsoft Word folder is empty. Is there some other way to get into the speakable commands list and weed out unwanted stuff?

DNS Stopped Working -- I'm confused!
