It would sound like your DNS settings in /etc/resolv.conf aren't being used. I'd guess that you missed the dns setting for hosts in /etc/nsswitch.conf. hosts: files dns You can test address resolving at a low level using the glibc utility getent. $ getent hosts www.google.com 72.14.253.147 www.l.google.com www.google.com 72.14.253.104 www.l.google.com www.google.com 72.14.253.99 www.l.google.com www.google.com 72.14.253.103 www.l.google.com www.google.com -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
