When I do /etc/resolv.comf from root, I get a message saying "bash: /etc/resolv.conf: Permission denied" How can I see what it contains?
You probably want to remove bind. Unless you are running a local network, and have a lot of machines on it, you do not need it. It can be set up to cache lookups for you, but there are better packages out there to to that. If you have it running on your system, but do not have it configured properly, it will cause the kind of problems you are having.
The lack of connection is not a time out issue; that is an error message is returned immediately rather than after a pause. I have bind installed, but not tmdns. Are there any other programs which may be causing conflicts?
Thanks,
Collin
Try removing bind, and see if that solves your problems. If it does, then you may want to reed up on caching name servers, and see if you need one. If so, then come back to the list for advice. We can point you to a few package, depending on what your needs are.
