Intermittent "host unreachable resolving..." error

At least once a day (sometimes 2-3 times) our DNS server stops working for about 3-5 minutes. It appears to happen randomly (i.e. always at a different time) and after a few minutes, it goes back to normal.
When the problem occurs, none of the external addresses can be resolved and the DNS logs lots of "host unreachable" entries. Here's a brief sample (I'm showing the instance when the DNS goes from non-responsive to working again):
21-Feb-2011 12:51:18.533 host unreachable resolving 'n.nic.at/AAAA/IN': 2001:628:453:4305::53#53

Any suggestions as to what could be the cause of this? At any other time the DNS appears to be working correctly.

This question was answered by Mr. Hoffman in another threat. It appears that the problem was related to a faulty AEBS router. Replacing it with another box "fixed" the issue.

  • Host Unreachable intermittently within a Windows Network Load Balancing Cluster

    Hi,
    We have 2 Windows 2008 R2 servers running multiple IIS web sites and load balanced across Windows Network Load Balancer in unicast mode. Although there are two interfaces in each server, only 1 interface in each server participates in load balancing and
    other interface is used for a different backup LAN. The problem I am going to mention was not seen within the NLB for almost 1 year.
    I have noticed intermittent "host unreachable" detected from NLB in each host from time to time since 3 weeks ago. After servers are rebooted, both hosts can be reached and can be detected from NLB manager. However it becomes unreachable in both
    servers within minutes and then becomes reachable again after several minutes. This behavior is noticed in the load balancer and pings do not work between the two hosts when the issue occurs. I did a packet capture to see what was going on with ARP message
    when the issue occurs. ARP entry goes missing in each server when the problem occurs and no ARP replies are returned from each server. But ARP requests are dispatched from both servers when the issue occurs. ARP replies come back after sometime after which
    hosts become reachable again.
    I tried to create a permanent static ARP entry (By copying the MAC address from ARP table when the two hosts are reachable) in each host but that hasn't solved the issue either. It seems like the individual MAC address generated by each host is a virtual
    one and it doesn't seem to respond when the problem occurs.
    However load balancing and web sites are fully functional without any issues even while "host unreachability" issue is detected.
    Appreciate if someone could help me to dig the real problem out.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    Did you do some change of your network or the NLB firewall settings recently?
    If you are using the NLB cluster in Hyper-V guest vm you need to enable the spoofing of MAC address.

  • Could not resolve host (nil); Unknown error

    Trying to install arch linux into virtualbox...
    I got it to boot and everything, got my internet set up (I think), installed virtualbox guest stuff, and then had to reboot.
    I try to do sudo pacman -S xorg-twm xorg-xclock xterm so that I can test X before installing a desktop enveiroment..
    It then asks me for my password, the Y/N thing, etc.
    And then I get a whole bunch of lines saying "error: failed retrieving file [filename] from [somewhere] : could not resolve host (nil); Unknown error"
    And after that it says error: failed to commit transactions (download library error)
    I follow this guide (http://wideaperture.net/blog/?p=3851), I am currently right above step 17.
    Anyone knows what to do? I'm installing Arch Linux for the first time so I'm a total newbie.

    Type journalctl with sudo, then push the end key to go at the last messages.
    The guide you followed said :
    sudo systemctl enable [email protected]
    But with rescent archlinux changes, as you said with the result of 'ip addr', the base name of ethernet device has changed to enp0s3, maybe that's why you don't have the network. First disable the previous command :
    sudo systemctl disable [email protected]
    Then enable with the right name
    sudo systemctl enable [email protected]
    Either way, paste here the logs of journalctl (just type if you see some errors) after doing a
    sudo systemctl restart dhcpcd
    We never know, but have you checked your ethernet cable is plugged in?
    For the screenshots, when I'm in virtualbox and do left ctrl+e, a window pop up to save the .png...

  • From Exchange 5.5, I have problems sending email to iPlanet Messaging Server 5.1 with subdomain. Error result = The recipient was unavailable to take delivery of the message (Host unreachable)

     

    I'd start with the basics, can you ping the iMS machine? Can you telnet to port 25 on the machine? Do these steps from the MSX server.
    If those things work, which I suspect they will not based on the text "Host unreachable" in your question then I would put master_debug slave_debug on the channel which the MSX system is arriving, either going to be tcp_local or tcp_intranet. Then look at the resulting log file on the iMS system.
    Hope this helps,
    Chad

  • HOST UNREACHABLE - two network cards

    We have two ethernet cards. The first has a static
    IP address. This is the card that is used for our
    internal network. The second card recieves a dynamic
    IP address from a DHCP server. The second card is
    used to connect our machine to the internet. When we
    disable the second card we are able to make a socket
    connection and connect to our database. When the
    second card is enabled the socket connection fails and
    we get a HOST UNREACHABLE ERROR.
    What must be configured here ?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    null

    Messy setup IMO, but anyway....
    Your faulty resolv.conf is the reason you can't ping google. Edit it manually as required, and then use the -R flag in /etc/conf.d/dhcpcd to prevent it being overwritten. DHCP on both interfaces will probably cause routing issues as well, in which case you will need the -G flag.

  • Lenovo W530/W540 Getting Destination host Unreachable from our Firewall

    Hey Everyone!
    I'm having some bizarre issues with all of my Lenovo W530/W540's.  I'm not sure when the issue started, the first time it was reported to me was around March, and it has been persistant since the issue was discovered.  The issue is that, quite frequently, our Lenovo W530/W540's will get Destiantion Host Unreachable if I run a continuous ping (ping -t ...) to anything outside our firewall.
    I have run a ping to things inside our firewall (other computers/servers, etc.) and they will return good ping until the cows come home.
    However, if I try to ping anything outside our firewall (google.com, google DNS 8.8.8.8, yahoo.com, etc.) about every 30 seconds (every 30-35 returns) it starts returning Destitnation Host Unreachable from our Firewall.  This will last for around 10-25 returns, and then traffic goes back to normal.
    We are a majority Apple Shop, and when I attempt to ping from any Apple on the network, it get fine returns consistently.  I also tried pinging from the few non-Lenovo Windows Machines we have as well (my personal machine which is self-built Windows rig, a couple of windows test machines, and a Windows 2008 Server we have) and they also have consistently good returns as well.
    It is ONLY the Lenovo's that have this problem.  To compound things, they have no issue when they are connected to a different network other than the company network.  This ONLY happens when they try to interact with traffic going THROUGH our Firewall on our company network.  It happens regardless of whether they hardwired or wireless.  Also, during the Destination Host Unreachable moments, Windows does not detect a disruption, it keeps registering good connection.  I do not know how often Windows checks for connection, but these Destination Host Unreachable moments are so quick, I'm fairly certain that Windows can't even detect them.
    Our Firewall is a Linux CentOS server that is running Shorewall Firewall Software.  The Destination Host Unreachable notice is coming from our Firewall directly, not from our ISP, so for some reason, the Lenovo is having a problem talking to our FW.
    We currently only have 3 of these machines in circulation, but its having a pretty big impact on those with the machines, as going to a website is even a chore, as they often get "Page Not Found"  and other errors when they try to load a website.
    I'm a bit stumped, I've never seen a machine act this way where it only has problems on a particular network; usually its a global issue it has with everything.  Any and all help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!
    -Chris

    DNS is set to be automatic, though I did try setting  a permenent DNS server in the IPv4 settings to our local DNS server AND Google DNS, and the issue still occurred.
    The 2 Conflicting firewalls could be it, so I tested that.  I logged into the Local Administrator account on the machine so I could temporarily disable the firewall.  I disabled it, pinged out, and I still get Destination host unreachable, though weirdly, it seems to happen less than when on the other account (only about every 50-60 pings do I get Destination host Unreachable).

  • New Install - ICMP Host Unreachable from gateway

    Hi team,
    I'm configuring a new solaris x86 box for the first time in a long time and I'm running into a problem that has me stumped.
    I just installed Solaris 10 v7 on a P4 Dell box with an intel pro1000 adapter loaded.
    Installed using ZFS and install went well. I set a static IP of 192.168.1.70 on a proper 192.168.1.x lan.
    After install, everything seems to work fine but cannot ping a FQDN such as www.google.com, etc.
    at first, I tried to join a local domain - maxximgroup.com and my computer name is set to sunzilla.
    Here's my network config files;
    sunzilla is set up with static IP = 192.168.1.70
    # ifconfig -a
    lo0: flags=2001000849<UP,LOOPBACK,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4,VIRTUAL> mtu 8232 index 1
    inet 127.0.0.1 netmask ff000000
    e1000g0: flags=1000843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,MULTICAST,IPv4> mtu 1500 index 2
    inet 192.168.1.70 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255

    inet6 fe80::21b:21ff:fe27:562c/10
    ether 0:1b:21:27:56:2c
    And /etc/hosts shows host name sunzilla associated w/ 192.168.1.70...
    # cat /etc/hosts
    # Internet host table
    ::1 localhost
    127.0.0.1 localhost
    192.168.1.70 sunzilla loghost
    And my resolv.conf file shows my internal DNS routers as well as a 3rd I added (4.2.2.2) just in case...
    # cat /etc/resolv.conf
    domain maxximgroup.com
    nameserver 192.168.1.20
    nameserver 192.168.1.22
    nameserver 4.2.2.2
    search maxximgroup.com
    I noticed the /etc/defaultrouter file was MISSING... so I created one pointing to my router...
    # cat /etc/defaultrouter
    192.168.1.1
    And finally, I checked the /etc/nsswitch.conf file and it does indeed show hosts & ipnodes --> files & dns ...

    # ping mycloud.local
    ping: unknown host mycloud.local
    Can anyone provide some guidance pls?

    Thanks Robert. You were absolutely on the right track. It turns out that in my "rush" to get my new ZFS "toy" up and running, during the install, I gave Solaris a static address but told it to automatically find the gateway. Oops! When solaris 10 installed, it correctly decided that since it had a static IP, it should assign the gateway as itself! So, naturally, when I ran netstat -m, It showed my gateway as myself! 192.168.1.70 sunzilla.
    I'm used to running Solaris on a Sparc platform and I'm a bit uncomfortable with reboots and I figured there would surely be a network restart command somewhere. After finding out that things have now changed in Solaris 10 quite a bit from Solaris 8, I just decided to init 6.
    After the system came up, everything was happy : -)
    So again, thanks to Robert for helping save the day!

  • Error: "Cannot connect to the provider. Make sure it is running in the specified host/port. Error (12031)"

    Hi,
    EPM version: EPM 11.1.2.1
    When we are using Zoom In Level as All Levels and tring to drill down for dimention of HFM application we are getting below error.
    Error: "Cannot connect to the provider. Make sure it is running in the specified host/port. Error (12031)"
    As we found some solution from comunity , we have performed below workaround but still we are getting same error.
    ·              We have done the changes in mod_wl_ohs.conf file of OHS  with (WLIOTimeoutSecs 3600 and WLIOSocketTimeoutSecs 3600)
    ·              And then restarted OHS and  APS service but still we found same error.
    Could anyone please suggest ,where can we trace its log from web server and the solution for this issue?
         Thanks,

    Hi,
    We have already performed the changes for APS in OHS as mentioned in the solution and the path also same as under OHS.
    Intially we were getting error for "to increase netRetryCould and NetRetryInterval"  as a solution we have added below 3  registry DWORD keys under  path

    John thank for the reply, and you are correct this is a new Installation on a laptop it is an I5 Core 2450 Chip.......with 4 GB of ram and 500 GB of hard drive ...
    When I attempt to set up the VMware 9.0 using server using server 2008r2. The VMware loaded and when I installed server 2008r2 the server start and look like it completed, but then but the screen sat saying VMware starting but it just sat t there for 2.5 hours with nothing happening.. So I then attempted to stop the VMware machine and I got the following statement "the server 2008r2 process is still going "so I did a hard boot and then reinstalled the laptop to factory condition.
    I again then attempted to install the VMware 9 and install oracle 11Rg2 database and install EPM 11.1.2.1 Essbase to completion but again the system installed Server 2008R2 but just sat there, so again did a hard boot on the machine and resetting the laptop factory condition.
    My next attempt to complete this installation was as followed , loading on the window 7 OS, which I have done about 25 to 30 times with very few issue…… maybe not best practice but it has been working since last year..
    Here is my process in detail, the laptop is restore to the factory setting, I installed oracle 11rg2 database and then did the install of essbase 11.1.2.1 .... I guess was just lucky all those other time 30 or so times.
    But it did not work this time I still got the Error !!!!!! Host name Resolved to an IPS Address ….
    I also logged on the Oracle database and saw in the system set-up that it was set to local host with the IPS Address to 172.17.158.194
    AS For the DNS Name issue, I went in to the computer name and change it to XXXXXXXXX then restart the laptop but when I again attempted to start the installation of essbase 11.1.2.1 and still got the error Hostname resolved to an IPS Address. during the configuration, on this is on a window 7 ASUS machine , this machine is not on a network, I always set my machine as standalone sandbox box machine my personal training and development
    This is the first time I have had this kind of issue with version 11,1.2.1 I install it on window 7, again I guess I have been luck all these time before…
    I am using the same install file for EPM Essbase 11.1.2.1 since May of 2011.. But I have gotten new oracle database 11gr2.
    with all this issue with this machine I going to buy a I7 machine with a Quad 4 hyper threading - 3670QM chip with 8 GB and a 750 hard drive hopefully I have better luck

  • NLB Host Unreachable

    Hi All,
    Our SharePoint 2010 environment is using Microsoft NLB to cluster its front end web servers.
    Yesterday, one of our active directory domain controllers was demoted and the server rebooted, this server also acts as one of our DNS servers.  When it was rebooted, our SharePoint environment became unavailable; Users were getting prompted
    with an authentication box.  Looking into it further there is a Host Unreachable error between the 2 load balancers.  After about 20mins the domain controller was promoted again, server rebooted and everything became available again.
    Can anyone shed any light on why this may have occurred.  Is it simply that the load balancers lost the DNS and the ability to talk to each other.  If so why did it not use the secondary DNS server configured in windows and remain alive? 
    Or does the issue lie with the domain controller being demoted?
    Any help appreciated.
    Cammie

    Hi,
    I am not very similar the SharePoint, but it seems is the client use the FQDN to access the SharePoint resource, but when your DC demote the DNS have some issue. Please try
    to ping the NLB virtual IP to see it reachable or not.
    If at any point the DNS Client service receives a negative response from a server, it removes every server on that adapter from consideration during this search. For example,
    if in step 2, the first server on Alternate Adapter A gave a negative response, the DNS Client service would not send the query to any other server on the list for Alternate Adapter A.

    you just used a rankmirrors gened file instead of the standard?

  • Host name resolved to an ipaddress please provide host name

    Hi All,
    I am running EPM 11.1.2.2. installer on my VM ware Windows 2008 machine, while running the pre check i get error like host name resolved to an ipaddress, please provide host name.

    All the details are correct only, I am able to connect to the schema using the sql plus.
    not sure why Configurator cannot recognize it, what shold i do, I have tried re-installing Oracle 11g couple of times alredy..
    Is it beacause of the ip i had given to machine post installation of Oralce 11 g ?

  • How can I resolve error code -54 in iTunes? I am using the latest iTunes. No new updates are available.

    How can I resolve error code -54 in iTunes? I am using the latest iTunes. No new updates are available. I'm using iTunes 11.3 on a MacBook Pro, OS X 10.6.8. I can't save my library in iTunes, the message just keeps popping up.

    From an OS9 reference, error -54 is a software lock on a file or a permissions error. (Although there is no formal list of OSX error code some of the old codes still apply to OSX .)
    First, try simply restarting your computer.
    Try quitting iTunes, then deleting the .xml (not .itl !) version of the library file in the iTunes folder (iTunes will generate a new one).
    iTunes Library cannot be saved (Error -54) - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1912814 - various things to try.
    Unknown error (-54) while syncing ipod - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/1082953 - problem was locked files
    Why does iTunes keep showing a -54 error when I sync my iPad? - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114
    Error -54 possibly related to Touch Copy - https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3727114 - cleared by deleting preferences on iPad.
