Further information on this problem... my /etc/resolv.conf file reads: # search pizzapizza.net hondutel.hn search pizzapizza.net # nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 206.48.104.142 nameserver 206.48.104.158
# ppp temp entry The first time I had this problem, I solved it by remarking out 192.168.0.1 as the first nameserver. I don't understand why the same symptoms have returned even though 192.168.0.1 remains remarked out. Any ideas, anyone?
