You didn't mention if you did any other configuration things... The default installation doesn't change /etc/resolv.conf to point to your local DNS servers, have you updated them yourself? If you are using linux the same values should work, ie. you can copy your linux resolv.conf to your Hurd /etc that should work. I don't believe that the installation guide mentions this, just in case that helps. -- /^\ \ / ASCII RIBBON CAMPAIGN X AGAINST HTML MAIL / \ Public Key Server (pgp.dtype.org) -- Index '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Type bits /keyID Date User ID pub 1024D/DC92AE30 2002/02/26 David Walter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Help-hurd mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-hurd
