my bad
resolv.conf is the file in question
also the entrys are in numbers
-----------------
nameservers 208.6.xxx.xxx
nameservers 208.6.xxx.xxx
-----------------
these entrys are identical in both the box that is resolving names just
fine and the new box that is not resolving names.
the non-name resolvable box can ping the name servers fine
both boxes are on a 192.168.xxx.xxx network thru the same gateway box
is it a service somewhere that may not have been started, installed, or
setup correctly?
during the install I attempted to enter alternate sources (ftp) but they
failed and timed out due to the resolve problem.
I ended up with a 71 meg install from only the 1st CD I think
It works ...
and it will force me to work from the ground up ...
a learning experience I'm sure I will look back on and have fond
memories ...
HOWEVER currently
it's just another brick in the wall .. so to speak <grin>
and yes I'd like a bit of cheese with that whine .. please
TIA,
Sam Morgan
