Specifying How Many Times NetTracker Should Retry a DNS Lookup

By default, when resolving host names, NetTracker makes four retries to resolve a given IP address. However, sometimes the DNS lookup process stops because it times out, resulting in an IP address never being resolved even though resolution may be possible. You can increase the number of times that NetTracker should try to resolve a host name. (There is always one attempt; if it fails, it is retried a specified number times.)

To specify how many times NetTracker should retry a DNS lookup:
  1. Click the Options tab.
  2. From the NetTracker Options list at the top of the page, select Edit Administrative Options.
  3. In the left-hand panel, click DNS under Network.
  4. In the Reverse DNS retries box, enter the number of times that NetTracker should try to resolve a given IP address. Enter a number from 0 to 100. The default is 4.
  5. Click Save Options and then click Continue.
