That's been a good point. Even as root I can't ping the name serverse from /etc/resolv.conf provided usually by my isp. > > 2) From the command line try "ping 216.239.53.99" > 3) Then in your web browser put "http://216.239.53.99"; Both, as user and as root I can ping this one. I use two browsers to test: epiphany which uses gnome proxy settings and mozilla with direct internet access. When I point them to http://216.239.53.99 both open a google page. But mozilla fails to open http://www.google.com I guess this is because of the invalid name servers in resolv.conf Anything I can do? Regards, Michael -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
