Hi,
I've just installed Mandriva Linux and I can ping any host on the
Internet, FTP to any host on the internet, but any browser just sits
there and times out. I've tried all the installed browsers and lynx.
Telnetting to www.yahoo.com on port 80 seems to reveal the problem - it
just sits there saying "Trying 1.0.0.0...", now if I telnet to the IP
address of www.yahoo.com on port 80, I can type GET index.html and get
the index page. So DNS lookup works - as I can get the IP address from
the ping command and obviously the interface is working as I can
manually retrieve pages with the IP and telnet... anyone know what is
wrong here?
I'm using DHCP and setting the DNS servers automatically.
Thanks,
David.

nope, these symptoms mean (to me anyway) DNS is NOT working right, you
need a DNS server upstream that is "alive" what does "cat
/etc/resolv.conf" (without the quotes, as root, in a text console) say?
