It sounds like a nameserver problem. Make sure /etc/resolv.conf is right. You may also want to load the BIND utilities and try some name lookups with dig or nslookup. It is curious that lynx works ok. They may fall back to an internal nameserver, but I don't really know. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
