Can you ping known hosts by numeric IP address? If so, then it's definitely dns that's borked, and resolv.conf is what fixes that (short of installing bind). > something similar, but haven't been able to find one. I did find the > nsswitch.conf file, but didn't see anything in there that would really help That's useful if you want to change the order in which things are consulted: hosts: files dns That means to resolve a hostname on my system, it first looks in /etc/hosts, then consults a nameserver. Other options are for it to check with an NIS server, or just give up instead. Fix resolv.conf and you should be there. I've no idea why Mdk isn't doing that for you. -- Any technology distinguishable from magic is insufficiently advanced.
