Re: Networking borked on new squeeze install
Sounds like a dns problem, Mat. Can you ping a network address outside your borders? I like to keep several in the back of my head for that: GTE/MCI/VZN's dns servers are 4.2.2.1, 4.2.2.2 and 4.2.2.3. Google's are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4. Can you ping them by address? what does the search and/or domain lines in /etc/resolv.conf say? --b On Mon, Apr 9, 2012 at 10:38 PM, Mat Enders mat.end...@gmail.com wrote: Here is a stumper.

Take a look at your /etc/nsswitch.conf file. See if it has anything related to dns for the 'hosts' directive. If it only has files listed for hosts: you try adding dns after files so it looks like this: hosts:files dns Good luck.
