Hi! Most likely your /etc/resolv.conf is wasted. Happens alltoo often in my university. There is a "good" solution, but I didn't bother to look for it yet. What I do: $dhclient $vim /etc/resolv.conf (there probably is an empty "search" or "domain" entry -- remove it) Only then, fire up your browser etc. Yours, Kurt -- NEU : GMX Internet.FreeDSL Ab sofort DSL-Tarif ohne Grundgebühr: http://www.gmx.net/dsl
