This is a good idea thanks! My wife and I talked about something similar recently. I think we’re going to try having some of our own office work scheduled for times when he is studying/revising.
My sense is that his problem isn’t particularly the understanding of the topic, it’s laying down a deep enough application of it to get the marks in the exams.
We’ve talked about his situation, but not in a formal ‘he needs support’ kind of way. When he’s getting low As and Bs it’s really hard to talk about him not meeting his potential, I just look like a pushy parent.
I think what I’m mostly worrying about myself is that the future he wants for himself needs grades that he’s capable of intellectually, but not at the work rate he’s able to do today. I know that things usually work out, but it’s still hard in the moment to see that he might miss out on his dream goals.
I switched out the router and things started working. Very weird, but I can’t tho jot anything other than it being the Virgin Media hub not liking it. Apparently they have history on this.
Yes, everything looks right. I moved dhcp resolution from the router to technitium recently, but hadn’t set up local resolution.
I’m currently thinking the router is the culprit. Here in the UK there are lots of forum posts complaining about the Virgin Media gear. Nothing specifically describes my problem but I’m going to try a new router over the weekend.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll grab a cap to check.
I’m running tcpdump -i any port 53. I can see the outbound request but not the reply. Will the cap show me anything more?
Thanks for giving it some thought!
I have been testing using dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan
3, 4, and 5 work for TXT, NS and SOA but doesn’t work for A records. I think this rules out a simple network issue?
Thanks for replying, I appreciate the response.
I’m running dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan from my client (a MacBook).
If I run ‘dig @192.168.0.249 study.lan TXT’ I get a correct response (I have added a txt record)
If I run ‘dig @192.168.0.249 lan SOA’ or ‘NS’ I correctly get the records for the zone.
I think this eliminates the possibility of it being a routing error?
I can’t decide if I want this to have been written by an AI or not.
Without going to whole hog and hosting my own infrastructure, what are some good alternatives?
Fancy sharing the details of your prompt? I might like to recreate in a corporate environment.
No sweat if your keeping it closed.
