It does sound like a DNS issue. Try changing /etc/resolv.conf to: nameserver 8.8.4.4 nameserver 8.8.8.8 Those are Google public nameservers. The dhcp client may overwrite that so it may not be a permanent fix if it is indeed the problem. You can also try putting known IP addresses in /etc/hosts. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
