First sign of trouble in paradise: FiOS Hiccup
Having had FiOS running for less than a week, I’ve hit my first hiccup. This morning I woke up to find that all of my DNS requests were timing out. I had things like Google and GMail in my DNS cache, so those still worked, but attempts to resolve new hostnames were timing out. WTF?
I poked around the Verizon router for a bit, and the only thing untoward in the log was:
daemon.warn cLink: clink1: ioctl(DRV_GET_MY_NODE_INFO) failed, res=-1: Bad address.
The router is running some customized flavor of BusyBox, which I know fuck-all about, so I dunno if that’s normal or not. I do know that I dropped to a shell within the router’s telnet admin environment, and tried a ping www.google.com, which timed out trying to resolve the hostname. Doubting that Verizon’s DNS servers could be down, I used the router’s web interface to reboot it, and now it’s come back up with DNS working fine. Not a good sign. I’ll keep an eye on it.
UPDATE: Finally solved the problem
