IP.sh / ping not working

[brian_nyc]

Hi All,

I am running PIAF Astrisk 1.4.21.2 on my home PBX and this has been running solid for sometime. I recently moved from Comcast to FiOS and implemented IP.sh as per the knol as the IP address seems to change more frequently than Comcast that never seemed to change.

However, I just noticed my external IP in my sip_custom.conf was 127.0.0.1? so I quickly pinged my myhost.dyndns.org entry and this is what was returned...

64 bytes from pbx.dyndns.org (127.0.0.1): icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=0.129 ms

(note: pbx.dnydns.org is NOT my dyndns address)

I tried ping www.nervittles.com and this worked fine

64 bytes from gw.wardmundy.com (174.37.6.70): icmp_seq=2 ttl=46 time=66.7 ms

I tried on another box PIAF I recently built from scratch for another project and this worked fine with the same netconfig settings?

I did quite a few searches before posting, honest

Any ideas? this seems to be causing me a few problems...

Cheers

Brian

Okay, so I'm a little dumb...

I used webmin to check the host file as it struck me it must be resolving ahead of DNS... and bam there it was??? deleted the entry but I have no idea how it got in there? I know 100% I didn't manually enter via webmin etc. so any suggestions how this might of got in there?

Ping is disabled in IPtables for your server. If this is an Orgasmatron build, it was in there to make sure your server could send outbound mail. It would not have affected DNS resolution assuming no other changes were made to /etc/hosts.
