The fact that you can't ping the dns servers doesn't mean that they are lame. Maybe they (the ISP) firewall icmp packets from reaching those servers. Not likely, but ya never know. Are you running a firewall internally?? Most importantly I thought you said as Root you can get internet access using a non-proxied connection? Is this true or not? Please confirm? Is the squid proxy located within your network locally or outside your network? Are you the one that configures the squid-proxy? What are the ip's of the dns servers in etc/resolv.conf? I will try and ping them from here. Thanks, Joshua Banks __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? New Yahoo!
