Can you ping the IPs in resolv.conf from the SuSE-8.2 box? If not, then that's your problem.

Re: Unknown host error message when trying to ping Internet
Apparently they have changed their systems, for 216.229.33.250 was their DNS server for some time and I did not look it up. At any rate, I plugged in your values into /etc/resolv.conf and still get the same unknown host message. BTW, I was under the impression that Suse had changed Yast so that it would accept values entered manually, which is how I have been editing the configuration files. But when I tried using Yast2 it was still calling up the older values and was not picking up the ones I had manually entered. So I changed them using Yast2 also. Still same problem unknown host: pcisys.net BOF Tom Wilson wrote: On Fri, 2003-08-01 at 14:50, bof wrote: pcisys.net uses 216.229.32.173 as their mail server. Their DNS server is 216.229.33.250.
