If you don't have a file called /etc/resolv.conf, you need to create one. Here's what a typical one looks like: search yourdomain.com nameserver 127.0.0.1 nameserver 193.190.253.33 nameserver 134.58.126.3 The first line is there to tell the resolver which is your domain, so that you can use "short" names. The second line gives the first nameserver, the local host. You need to have a nameserver running for that. The last two lines give nameservers out on the net. You should contact your ISP to find out these. Anyway, check out "man resolv.conf". -- nico --:: Nico Galoppo ::-------------------------------------------------- --:: scratch at ace.ulyssis.student.kuleuven.ac.be ::----------------- :: :: --:::::::::::::::::::::::::: Linux - Free power for the masses :::::::
