Was it ever working? Have you got a properly configured /etc/resolv.conf as described in resolver(5)? (that means you should type man 5 resolver, otherwise you will get resolver(3) which is not relevant to you) Here's an example resolv.conf, don't copy it blindly: domain indigo.ie nameserver 194.125.133.10 nameserver 194.125.133.11 search doc.ic.ac.uk ic.ac.uk Regards, Niall -- Niall Smart.
