Are the nameserver settings in resolv.conf really your ISP's DNS servers? There are 3 setting in /etc/resolv.conf nameserver 192.168.252.200 nameserver 210.0.144.26 nameserver 210.0.144.29 My ISP only provides dynamic IP address. The last 2 settings are my ISP's DNS servers. I have no idea of the first one. >*** I thought DNS servers where located via DHCP? Try removing the >references to DNS servers.

Kindly advise what references I have to remove to DNS servers and how ? >What info did you get from your ISP on how to set up your host for DHCP? I did not set up the host for DHCP because only dynamic IP address is provided by my ISP. Thanks in advance. B.R.
