How do I make sure that dns client is on? nina, the fellows here are presuming you either have no firewall or that the firewall is open for what you want to do. Have you checked to make sure that you can get through the firewall you are running. > dig www.duke.edu That should give you a collection of blather, nost of which you do not need. But these lines are interesting: ;; ANSWER SECTION: www.duke.edu. 86400 IN A 152.3.233.20 www.duke.edu. 86400 IN A 152.3.233.7 If you browser does not find "http://www.duke.edu/"; then try one of the IP addresses directly, "http://152.3.233.20/"; for example. If that does not work then you may have port 80 blocked on your firewall. (And I am assuming that nslookup worked for you so the "dig" should work just as well. If it does not work then maybe dns is getting fouled up at the firewall.) {^_^}
