Well, from the transcript you included, I can't tell if problem 6 is causing problem 5, or vice versa. Since 'route -n' actually seems to give reasonable values, could you try 'ping 206.170.168.35'? (That address was one of the DNS servers listed in your original post). Also, try removing the "domain" statement from /etc/resolv.conf. "domain" and "search" keywords are mutually exclusive. -- E-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST. Trouble? E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
