Not that I am an expert of anything.

But what is the configuration you are running? Server? Gateway Server? How many Nic's? And their IP's? Might be able to suggest a few things for you then.

Paul.

The server are running with Server only, with 2 NIC's, the IP: 192.168.0.3/24 with gateway : 192.168.0.1

thank you,

Hi,
I would go back to basics, disable one of your nic in the bios, then go to the console and reconfigure it all again. Sounds like your DNS is not resolving? Make sure you do not put entries for the DNS, SME is a great DNS resolver in itself. As long as your DFG is right, and by what you say it looks it, and is probably your router, then all should be well. I assume you used the router with other machines and can confirm you can resolve names from them?

Sorry if I am teaching my grandmother etc...

Hi Paul
I had been trying that way, by disabling one of the NIC and processing reconfigure - but with no luck

From a terminal, what does ifconfig give you? Post it here.

Probably something annoyingly simple, I know those only too well :-)

The problem is a DNS resolving one. Either you have configured a DNS forwarder which doesn't work, or your sme can't outbound on port 53 to do it's own resolving
C'est la fin du monde !!! :lol:

Fresh install of sme 9.2, not updated
Two identical NIC I presume
I also presume you set nic bonding.


Known issue  as per the release page on wiki

SME 9.2 ISO only, DO NOT enable nic bonding on an initial install when server only mode is selected.
If your hardware has two network adapters installed or there are two nics configured in a VM and you have selected server only mode during the install you will be offered the opportunity to enable bonding of the nics, the current SME 9.2 ISO has an issue with this initial configuration and a loss of connectivity will result on reboot. DO NOT enable bonding on initial install, carry out a yum update after initial install and then reconfigure and enable bonding if that is your wish.


Reconfigure server without nic bonding.

Update

Reconfigure with nic bonding.

Ok no from your last post i see no nic bonding.


This more likely a firewall issue as point Daniel. You might need to configure your gateway as dns server for the sme , or pinhole the gateway firewall to allo sme to access dns port 53 over the internet.

had been trying this method, but with no luck,
until I found on some forums mention that need to change the /etc/resolv.conf
by adding the "nameserver ip-gateway"

after that the yum upadate is running without any issues.

But, this is not good, since after the server is restarted, I still have the same issues

So what was originally in your /etc/resolv.conf ?

Also what does this show?

Code: [Select]
config show dnscache
...
1. Read the Manual
2. Read the Wiki
3. Don't ask for support on Unsupported versions of software
4. I have a job, wife, and kids and do this in my spare time. If you want something fixed, please help.

darmasanthi

What is this gateway device you mentioned earlier ?
"gateway : 192.168.0.1"

Is it another Koozali sme server & is it in server gateway mode, or is it some other device (Router) ?

In the configuration of the problematic sme server (that is in server only mode), did you specify the gateway IP in the "Configure this server" screens in the admin console ?

You need to tell secondary sme servers where the gateway is so that DNS resolving can work correctly.
