I think you should start at the beginning. Can you ping a machine on the net? By IP address? By dns name? try: ping 152.2.254.81 then, ping www.sunsite.unc.edu did you get replies? If you can't ping by IP, there is something wrong with your connection to your ISP. (basically) and if you can ping by IP but not by dns, then you prolly have bad dns machines numbers in /etc/resolv.conf mail me if it doesn't work and we can work on it while keeping traffic off the list. -- dyer
