If you get internet access as Root then dns resolution _IS_ working. But you said you couldn't ping the dns servers. So dns is working may just filtering ICMP. So maybe this is a permissions issue on your lap top for your normal user. Thats not an area that I'm to familar with. Do you see anything in your /var/log/auth.log.0 When your referring to a normal user, are you referring to the normal user configured on your laptop or a whole nother computer all together. > Could you ping the hosts in my resolv.conf? I asked for the ip's but you didn't give them to me so I won't be able to test ping until you send them. You can either append them to your response to the gentoo list or you can send them directly to me if you would prefer. > Thanks a lot for your help so far. No problem Michael.
