my bad resolv.conf is the file in question also the entrys are in numbers ----------------- nameservers 208.6.xxx.xxx nameservers 208.6.xxx.xxx ----------------- these entrys are identical in both the box that is resolving names just fine and the new box that is not resolving names. the non-name resolvable box can ping the name servers fine both boxes are on a 192.168.xxx.xxx network thru the same gateway box is it a service somewhere that may not have been started, installed, or setup correctly? during the install I attempted to enter alternate sources (ftp) but they failed and timed out due to the resolve problem. I ended up with a 71 meg install from only the 1st CD I think It works ... and it will force me to work from the ground up ... a learning experience I'm sure I will look back on and have fond memories ... HOWEVER currently it's just another brick in the wall .. so to speak <grin> and yes I'd like a bit of cheese with that whine .. please TIA, Sam Morgan
