Yes. I can ping 216.229.33.250 and get a reply. But if I try and ping "pcisys.net" (216.229.33.250 is the nameserver for pcisys.net), I get the "unknown host pcisys.net" error message.

So how do I correct this?

Can you ping the IPs in resolv.conf from the SuSE-8.2 box?  If not, then
that's your problem.

I am trying to set up a Suse 8.2 desktop box, (Bob, address
192.168.1.33) but am having trouble connecting to the Internet. I am
not running a firewall on it.

I can ping an Internet address by IP address without problem. When I
try to ping by hostname I receive the error message "unknown host."

I can ping other machines local to my network by both IP address and
hostname without problem. One of the other machines in the network
(Sam, address 192.168.1.2, RH 7.3) has no problems when pinging the
Internet, either by IP address or hostname, and it can ping the Suse
box without problem.

My Internet access is through a NAT gateway/firewall box with address
192.168.1.1 (Bill) on the internal net card, and whatever address
assigned to tthe external card by my ISP using DHCP. From the firewall
box, I can ping the Suse box, the RH box, and the Internet using both
IP address and hostname, all without problems,

The configuration files for the Suse box are set up as follows:

/etc/hosts
        127.0.0.1       localhost
        192.168.1.1     bill.mynet.net  bill
        192.168.1.2     sam.mynet.net   sam
        192.168.1.33    bob.mynet.net   bob

        # special IPv6 addresses
        ::1             localhost ipv6-localhost ipv6-loopback
        fe00::0         ipv6-localnet
        ff00::0         ipv6-mcastprefix

        nameserver 216.229.33.251
        search local local

Can anyone help me figure out what is going on?
