[GemStone-Smalltalk] Error with netldi, the connection to the repository is never made and the port becomes blocked

Hi James, 

You found the problem :-)

I have upgraded the linux kernel but still having problems.

There is something wrong in my server or in the network, because 'nslookup'
and 'host' fails to return the corresponding name of my MW (and of others
machines too).
But those commands works if I try to get the IP from the name.

a)With Ip adress:
       - host 133.94.1.10
        ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

       -nslookup 133.94.1.10
        ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 133.90.151.15, trying next server
        ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 133.90.151.131, trying next server
        ;; connection timed out; trying next origin
        ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 133.90.151.15, trying next server
        ;; Got SERVFAIL reply from 133.90.151.131, trying next server
         Got SERVFAIL reply;; connection timed out; no servers could be
reached

b)With name:
         -host COR8-DES-GMARAN
         *COR8-DES-GMARAN.sibs.net has address 133.94.1.10*
         COR8-DES-GMARAN.sibs.net has IPv6 address 2002:855e:10a::855e:10a
        
         - nslookup COR8-DES-GMARAN
         Server:         133.90.151.131
         Address:        133.90.151.131#53

         Name:   COR8-DES-GMARAN.sibs.net
         *Address: 133.94.1.10*

I have googled a lot, but I could not find something useful, or maybe yes
but I didn't figured out that was important.

Following your advice, I can connect by adding my ip and name to the hosts
file in ML, but it will only  work until my IP changes, because my IP is
dynamic.

So, summarizing:

I have upgraded Linux kernel, but it does not fix the error.
/nslookup / and /host/ onyl resolves the ip from the name, but not the name
from the IP.

This seems to be some kind of problem with the DNS.
I've connected via VPN to check DNS adresses and are the same that connected
via wire.

Do you have any idea about what the problem can be?

I really appreciate your help James, you made a lot for me.
Thanks!

Ezequiel
