I would also add a host in the hosts file to check that it is found that way. Also ping your DNS server to make sure you really have connectivity. (I have seen connections that look fine except you just can't get any packets to or from the internet.) From there I would check resolv.conf to make sure it has your DNS servers listed correctly. -- Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk@1tree.net ------------------ It's not reality that's important, but how you perceive things.
