Can't resolve host names yet you are still connected ? i.e.:
You can connect to a shell if you have the IP addy, connect to an IRC server if
you have the IP addy, connect to a website if you have the IP addy, but...

when you try to resolve hostnames, your query times out -- even if the NS (name server)
is up and working fine ?

Well, make check and see if all incoming UDP is being blocked ... if it is, stop it from
happening.. Still occurring ? Might want to try stopping TCP from being blocked too !

I am disgusted at MS for including this option in Win2k... Shame on them !!!


There, my tip of the day or something.... :)

"My Terminal is my Soul"

Or just install freebsd. It just as common a solution as "reboot"...

Well, at least in my opinion.
