check 'man dhcpcd' to check the arguments to pass to it (via /etc/conf.d/net) to prevent it overwriting local config files like /etc/resolv.conf. Are you using a local bind server? recent updates to localhost processing in a recent gentoo update did the same for me with clients on other machines

nsswitch.conf has a number of other entries in it which if missing may give rise to similar weird problems like this. You might like to extract it from sys-libs/glibc (the owner on my system) and replace it with the full file. BillK On Sun, 2005-07-24 at 23:59 -0400, Russell Slater wrote:
