I think you meant 'echo' instead of 'cat', and 'search' instead of
'seach'. Also you seem to be appending to /etc/resolv.conf everytime. If
that is the case, then the resolver is probably using some other search
path somewhere in the beginning of the file. You might want to fix your
script so that it overwrites the file instead.

Thanks - that was the problem. - "seach"
Very stupid of me. Still learning and would be lost without the list.

Now onto the next issue - the video card.
I'll start a new thread.
