And when it says if _cannot_ resolve?
one of my users (my wife actually!) gets an error, something like "the following
nameservers are unknown : yahoo.com, internic.net." etc...
I got this problem (among others) when i was setting up my own user stuff about

Could somebody help us here? (and help convince my wife that i made a sane
decision getting rid of ms?)
