> host -a www.google.com ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached And here's the contents of my resolv.conf: search earthlink.net nameserver 207.217.126.82 nameserver 207.217.77.81 nameserver 207.217.120.83 The original problem is this. When the box is set to use DHCP, it can resolve domains and surf the web just fine. When I manually assign it an IP and DNS servers it can't. It used to work just fine manually but sometime this week it just stopped working for some reason. The manual IP I use for this box is 192.168.0.2. I have already put my other comps on this IP and they can use it just fine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Yoda's answering machine, this is.
