[gentoo-user] emerge --sync connecting to 1.0.0.0 [OT, maybe]

[gentoo-user] emerge --sync connecting to 1.0.0.0 [OT, maybe]

[marco restelli]

Hi list,
   this may be a trivial question, but I really
don't know anything about networking.
When I connect my laptop to the internet
through my Netgear router, both firefox and
galeon work fine, but I can not run emerge:

emerge --sync
>>> Starting rsync with rsync://1.0.0.0/gentoo-portage...
>>> Checking server timestamp ...

However, after doing

ping rsync.gentoo.org
PING rsync.gentoo.org (134.68.220.97) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from rsync.gentoo.org (134.68.220.97): icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=170 ms
64 bytes from rsync.gentoo.org (134.68.220.97): icmp_seq=2 ttl=49 time=171 ms
64 bytes from rsync.gentoo.org (134.68.220.97): icmp_seq=3 ttl=49 time=168 ms

rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 168.541/169.990/171.031/1.159 ms

emerge works:

emerge --sync
>>> Starting rsync with rsync://134.68.220.97/gentoo-portage...
>>> Checking server timestamp ...
Welcome to hawk.gentoo.org


I am even unsure if the problem is the router
or the laptop configuration or both, hence the OT.
Any suggestion?

Thank you
  Marco

Probably some bad DNS server...

Could you post the contents of /etc/resolv.conf when your laptop is 
connected to the Netgear?

Here it is:


cat /etc/resolv.conf
# Generated by dhcpcd for interface wlan0
nameserver 192.168.1.1


Actually, 192.168.1.1 is the router, which is connected to the
internet with a Netgear modem, IP 192.168.0.1

Alright.  This means that (most likely) your laptop is asking your router 
to resolve rsync.gentoo.org and that router is giving back bad 
response(s), at least at first.  You should check the configuration of the 
DNS server on the router.

If you need further assistance, I'll need to know more about your router, 
specifically it's firm- and software.  Also, if the router isn't running 
Gentoo, we may need to take this off-list of (at least) mark further 
messages as off-topic.

If you want to confirm the problem is with the router, break out your 
generic DNS clients (dig/nslookup) and network monitoring tools (tcpdump 
et al.).  Of course, your router my simply be giving bad responses because 
it's getting bad responses from further upstream.

Ok, this is already a useful information

It is Netgear WGR614 v6, and it is not running Gentoo.

Thanks for all the advices.

some of the programs do work with dns server being the router itself and
some don't. Namely:

Web browsers and IM apps mostly work,
rsync,svn git and some telnet and ftp apps mostly don't.
In MS Windows almost always all work just fine.
The solution for me was to find out in the router itself what are the dns
servers that it uses and configure them in the system, either in
resolv.confor in
conf.d/net .
Hope it helps.

Indeed, it works for me as well :-)

Yes, adding DNS servers manually to /etc/resolv.conf worked for me as well. Things kept trying to resolve to 1.0.0.0.

For reference I was using a DLink 604 ADSL Modem Router (if memory serves).
