I've had this problem a couple of times in the past week, where nothing on my Mandrake 8.0 system can look up the IP addresses of domains via DNS lookup. Browsers can't resolve hosts, fetchmail gives a 'canonical DNS error', ping can't find hosts, etc. (This is while I am connected to my ISP via a ppp connection). The problem is at my end, because when I reboot into Windows 2000 I don't have the same problem. If I look up the IP addresses some other way and type them in directly into my browser, to fetchmail, etc. everything works fine. The first time it happened I couldn't solve it and I reinstalled Mandrake (lame solution number 1). Everything worked fine for a few days, but today the problem came back. I definitely have to find out why this is happening and fix it, because I don't want to reinstall again. Can anyone help? Lisa Evans
