This is a more difficult problem. The answer for it can be found in
the WWWOFFLE FAQ, but the solution that will suit you is more
difficult.
-------------------- WWWOFFLE FAQ --------------------
Q 3.2 Why can't WWWOFFLE find a host when the browser without it can?
The most likely reason is that the DNS server that was configured when WWWOFFLE
was started is no longer valid. This would happen for example if the file
/etc/resolv.conf was changed after wwwoffled was run. This is not a WWWOFFLE
only problem, but will affect any (most) programs when the DNS configuration is
changed while they are running.
...
-------------------- WWWOFFLE FAQ --------------------
I would suggest the solution of installing a local nameserver. The
one that I use is pdnsd. If you are installing from an RPM then your
Linux distribution supplier should be able to help you configure your
system if it doesn't do it automatically.
