I looked through the docs and > handbook, but couldn't seem to find it. You have to have a name server specified in /etc/resolv.conf... (assuming you are already up and running) something like: domain byu.edu nameserver 192.14.263.162 nameserver 192.14.263.50 (not that these are real numbers -- you will have to use your local settings). If you are doing this from an install screen, you need to do the full network setup -- don't skip any fields!
