I *had* the following in /etc/resolv.conf: # # resolv.conf :: created on 18dec95 # domain thought.org # nameserver 158.152.1.193 nameserver 158.152.1.65 Then last night added two line, which I have since commented out: # # added 02jan96 :: # ###nameserver 192.135.189.20 ###nameserver 192.135.189.10 :: 03jan96 Do I have to reboot to re-initialize the setup? Things still fail even thought I've yanked the bottom lines.... Thanks for the tip; sorry to spend the bandwidth. gary
