DNS Blocked by server

[dec]

Hello..!

I've been having a problem with all domains not resolving to my server. I recently checked /var/log/messages and noticed that all incoming and outgoing packages are been dropped.

How do i unblock or stop the kernel of blocking this IP addresses?

Thanks

Try:

chmod 644 /etc/named.conf
chown root:root /etc/named.confWhat are the startup options in your /etc/init.d/named file?

You can always get a new named boot script:wget -O /etc/init.d/named http://www.directadmin.com/named
chmod 755 /etc/init.d/named
chkconfig named resetJohn
