I duplicated this when I removed my /etc/resolv.conf file. Make sure that you have an /etc/resolv.conf file and that it has a 'nameserver' and 'search' entry in it: search private nameserver 10.0.0.1 You can test that you can find a host by using: host -a phi OR ping phi If host or ping does not find the host name then you have REAL problems.
