Hostnames not resolving
Everything seemed to be working fine when I set up Debian, but for some reason hostnames are not resolving even though I set everything up properly in resolv.conf. I can get directly at IP addresses but NOT however through domain names. My DNS servers are working fine as I can ping them and they work in windows, so something must be wrong on my side.

Any suggestions? Try nslookup on a few hosts. If that doesn't work, look in your /etc/nsswitch.conf file. That controls your search order. Mike -- Michael P.
