Hi Nick, Thanks for the reply. The DNS entries were, in fact, entered during installation via dhcp, which is the way the livecd read my network. Checking /etc/resolv.conf, the nameserver entries there are perfectly correct for this machine. Unless the style used to enter them needs to be revised in some way, which I would doubt, they're fine. I"d tried your suggestion of pinging by number rather than address and it doesn't make any difference. Again thanks for your reply. jlowell jlowell . -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
