If ;you don't have reliable connection to your nameserver, you won't have reliable connection to anywhere else on the net. It is time to escalate this back to Cox and tell them it is their problem. Alternatively, you might try using entirely different nameservers, from Opendns. <https://www.opendns.com> nameserver 208.67.222.222 nameserver 208.67.220.220 Try pinging one of these addresses and see if it responds reliably. If so, make a new resolv.conf file using those nameservers. carl -- carl lowenstein marine physical lab u.c. san diego [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- KPLUG-Newbie@kernel-panic.org http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-newbie
