Is your /etc/resolv.conf showing a good address for a nameserver? Actually, I guess you ought to have two addresses for a nameserver here. -------- REPLY, End of original message -------- The resolv.conf appears to be correct, again it hasn't changed. domain pics.com nameserver 192.135.189.20 nameserver 192.135.189.10 BTW: The machine having the problem is 192.135.189.20
