It looks like the linux box can't resolve the hostnames. As far as I know w2k doesn't provide a name server. If the following works, your basic setup is ok: ping 140.211.166.120 But when this fails ping www.mozilla.org the machine can not resolve the hostname. Edit your /etc/resolv.conf: nameserver 1.2.3.4 # ^^^^^^^ IP Address of the name server of your provider see resolv.conf(5) for details. hope this helps gk -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
