Go into Drakconf, select Network Configuration. If you have anything set in
primary gateway, or the incorrect DNS addies entered for your card, it may
prevent correct dns resolution. I had the samething happening when I was
attempting to set up internet sharing with another computer and forgot to
remove that ip addie and dns address from in there.

Subject: [newbie] Can't Connect to the Internet
I sent this message once before but received a sending-mail error message.
I
don't know if it went out the first time so if you've already seen it, I
apologize for the re-send.
Hello all,
I am running Mandrake 7.0 and I cannot get on the internet with Netscape. I
have a PCMCIA card and usually connect through a cable modem or DSL line. I
have received some suggestions and followed them:
I went to /etc/resolv.conf and entered
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxxx
but this didn't work. Here is the error message I received when trying to
connect:
"warning the following hosts are unknown
home.netscape.com
home6.netscape.com
internic.net
Perhaps there is a problem with your name server? If your site must use a
non-root nameserver, you will need to set the $SOCKS_NS environment variable
to point at the appropriate name server. blah blah blah"
I am very frustrated and would appreciate some help.
thanks,
Andrew
