Thanks for your response. I had already used drakconnect to set up the network, and resolv.conf had been populated correctly when I experimented with using DHCP instead of a static IP. After a reboot IP lookups and routing are no longer working at all. resolv.conf is still correct and the route command shows no routes except to 192.168.10.0 (the gateway is 192.168.10.1) and 127.0.0.0 Thanks, Steve
