Adam, try remove the "domain line".
I use Telstra cable. In my /etc/resolv.conf, I have: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- search nsw.bigpond.net.au nameserver 61.9.192.14 nameserver 61.9.192.15 nameserver 61.9.192.16 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I leave out domain as I don't have one. things to check: dhcp settings. I use dhcp3-client. /etc/network/* and their man pages. (eg. man interfaces) rgds., Lester On Wed, Dec 25, 2002 at 01:00:17PM +1300, Adam Bogacki wrote: > Hmmm ...
