Thanks for your observations and suggestions. You were more or 
less right. I also posted the same problem to an e-list of a local 
Linux user group, and someoe responded with more or less the 
same thing. 

Today I was at the university. I logged in first with 64-bit Firefox. 
Then I checked /etc/resolv.conf and the contents were different, 
listing the university and its DNS servers. I copied the three lines to 
/chroot/breezy/32bits/etc/resolv.conf and saved the file. Then I 
opend 32-bit Firefox running in chroot. When I tried to go 
somewhere on the net, bingo! Worked perfectly!

Right now I am workingn on creating a hard link between 
/etc/resolv.conf and the one in chroot. Someone told me to create 
a hard link by doing this, but the syntax doesn't quite work:

ln /etc/resolv.conf /chroot/breezy/32bits/etc/resolv.conf

It says the file already exists. I read the man page on ln and it gave 
a lot of information about options, but nowhere did it say exactly 
what ln DOES. But don't get me started on Linux documentation. :(

Anyway, I'm [MaxwellSmartvoice:ON] *that* close 
[MaxwellSmartvoice:Off].
