Yes I have already added the DNS servers into resolve.conf (you can actually do that via NetConf as well) and it still isn't working. It was working before on its own IP and it just decided to "stop" working for some reason. I haven't changed anything or installed anything on it to prompt it, one day SETI@HOME was just unable to retrieve anymore work units and the DNS issue was the problem. -------------------------------------------------------------- If God is watching us, the least we can do is be entertaining. --------------------------------------------------------------
