Check /etc/resolv.conf. This sound like one of the name servers served<br> up by the DHCP server is functional and the rest aren't. Or manually<br> edit the file have you've been served an address such that<br> /etc/resolv.conf uses name servers that you know are valid.<br>
<br> Have you tried pinging or connecting to servers using their IP address<br> and not hostname?<br> --<br> =W<br> <br><br> <br> <br> On Mon, Feb 25, 2008 at 11:36 AM, Michael Conklin<br> <<a href="mailto:michael.conklin131@gmail.com">michael.conklin131@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br>
