I saved my resolv.conf from the last setup along with my hosts files. They're the same now as they were prior to the upgrade. I know what the problem is, just not how to solve it. I am not sure it's a program that isn't running or if one is set up right, or if it's something to d with rndc or what. Like I said, I'm not sure what has to be running or how some conf files have to be set up. I can post files for anyone to compare to or view if necessary.
