Thanks to all. I seemed to have resolved the problem by setting my /etc/host.conf file to look like: order hosts,bind multi on And, of course, I have the correct IP's were in the /etc/hosts file. My laptop gets two different IPs depending on whether I go through the wireless or not. My host.conf already looked like the one below, but it wasn't working. Thanks again. I am so glad to get this problem resolved. darren Alex Zbyslaw wrote: > Gary Smithe wrote: > >> If that is your resolv.conf, then that explains some things.
