Hi
Check how your DNS is set. There must have some goof up.
If you specify the network setup and gateway scheme of your network, then Gurus
from list might be able to guide you. The pcqupdt script that comes with PCQ Linux
CD, asks for an option to setup the machine as an internet gateway. I never tried
it as I use Linux at home. But somebody else must be able to tell to you that.
Also if your internet gateway is on some other OS, contact system administrator.
If you are accessing the net on a dial up line, then select the option ' Disable
existing DNS' from kppp setup and enter your ISP DNS there. That will set the DNS
only to ISP one and your own system DNS won't come into picture.
Hope that will work.
Bye
