Hi, You may also want to check the following
In your /etc/nsswitch file, make sure that the following is present hosts: files dns The above lines tells the system to first look into the /etc/hosts file for resolution and then look up the dns. Some times, if during install u had installed NIS, or similar thing you will find entry for that also, remove them till hosts: line has only two entries. sudhir chauhan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said: > > Hi, > For sending mail to internet: > CASE I: > You have to configure /etc/resolv.conf with ur ISP's dns.
