By chance is it a laptop and did you recently obtain an IP via DHCP inside a school in the Sweetwater Union High School District (http://www.suhsd.k12.ca.us)? I think the default behavior of the DHCP client is to write a new /etc/resolv.conf based on the parameters received from the DHCP server. -Jon -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
