I have a new instance set up, and BackupPC is not initiating backups because pings keep failing. The behavior is really quite strange; please read on:
"nmblookup vostro1400" gives me 10.10.10.102. This is correct.
"nmblookup -A 10.10.10.102" gives me vostro1400. This, too, is correct.
My config file tells me: $Conf{PingCmd} = '$pingPath -c 1 $host';
The command "ping -c 1 vostro1400" gives:
PING vostro1400 (8.15.7.117) 56(84) bytes of data.
--- vostro1400 ping statistics ---
1 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 0ms
What's up with that crazy IP address? Why isn't ping resolving vostro1400 to 10.10.10.102? (Shouldn't we be pinging the IP address instead of the hostname, anyway?)
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thanks, -Frank
