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.

Thanks
