No luck whois not installed. Isnt that for only local use. That is it would tell me who was logged on to my domaine, well I know that its me. I did find a whois web site but didnt get any results since I dont know what my ISP's name is unless its 'sbcglobal.net' which it probably is. But that doesnt help since first I have to go to my dsl modem and it takes a long time to time out. If I remove everything from '/etc/resolv.conf' It just gets replaced as is. I dont understand what I'm doing?
