I was pinging external hosts, not internal. Google resolved fine from terminal but cannot resolve in the browser. This has been temporarily fixed by rebooting the machine but I’m sure it will happen again on Tuesday.

When you said that you could ping by hostname, were you pinging internal hosts with the same DNS suffix? (I think Macs call this search domain or something similar.)

The reboot does fix it temporarily but it just seems to come back in 24 hours.

They can ping by hostnames just fine. They can get to any website by IP just fine but not by hostname. Any ideas? I’m stumped and Google hasn’t been very helpful this morning.
