Namebench only returns ipv6 results even though I didn't tell it to do so. #277

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.Download namebench for a linux system.
2.Unpack the namebench archive that was downloaded in step 1.
3.run nambench by opening a terminal session and navigating to the directory it 
was unpacked in then do:
./namebench.py

What is the expected output?
That I would be given a list of IPv4 DNServers.

What do you see instead?
Once the program has completed its process I see instead a list of IPv6 
addresses only.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using namebench v1.3.1

Please provide any additional information below.
OS: Xubuntu 14.04
---- Network IPv4 Settings begin ----
Method: Automatic (DHCP) addresses only
DNS servers: 209.222.18.222, 209.222.18.218
Search domains: (this field is left blank)
DHCP cliet ID: (this field is left blank)
Checkbox "Require IPv4 addressing for this connection to complete": Unchecked
Routs: (this new window is left blank)
Notes: The checkbox above has a message that appears when you hover the mouse 
over it and that message reads as follows:
"When connecting to IPv6-capable networks, allows the connection to complete if 
IPv4 configuration fails but IPv6 configuration succeeds." Note again that this 
item is unchecked above.
---- Network IPv4 Settings end ----
---- Network IPv6 Settings being ----
Method: Ignore
All other check boxes and fields under the above item are grayed out and can 
not be selected or edited.
---- Network IPv6 Settings end ----
The above settings are identical for both eth0 and eth1 network adapters, and 
the same results occur when only one network adapter is plugged in.

Both adapters have been disconnected, shutdown, reconnected, and restarted with 
a double check that the above settings are still intact before running 
namebench as described above under steps to reproduce the problem.

Request:
Could the developers add an IPv4 only switch to the argument stack that 
namebench can accept when its run? I see that you have an IPv6 only option but 
no option to only return IPv4 DNS results.

Questions:
I never used the "IPv6 only" argument when running namebench. I'm also using a 
freshly downloaded copy of the program and running it directly from the 
directory it was downloaded to as per the instructions given in the README file 
that was included in that archive that was downloaded. 
1.) Why am I only getting IPv6 results out of namebench?
2.) Is there any way to force namebench to give IPv4 results only?

Thanks.
