Hi Sandy,
>> when i type any URL in the netscape window, it says it can't find the
host
Hmmmm...... seems to me like your default route is not set properly..
I Assume that U are not using a caching DNS server ... and are simply
pointing your host to the ISP's host.. right ?
1. Have U set up your /etc/hosts file properly ?
2. try this ping 127.0.0.1 {offline }? does it ping ? also try "lo" or
"localhost"
-- if U get this error : "unknown host " ... the interface is not setup
properly ... check your hosts file & "ifconfig" command.
{ 'ifconfig' command : ifconfig lo
this will tell U statistics about the interface.
}
3. when online :
ping to any address and see if the name gets resolved .
