Thanx in advance! I would do this in a root terminal tcpdump port 53 You might need to use /sbin/tcpdump instead. This will give you a line for each packet in or out on port 53, the UDP DNS port. From this you will likely get an idea of what is up. If you have multiple DNS entries in resolv.conf, it may be that the first one is timing out and then it is successfully trying the second one. What is your iptables situation with incoming UDP port 53? - -Andy -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/xdEfjKeDCxMJCTIRApUbAJ4gcbAfxYSGevtSV/o3Zgcl9HMm4ACeJWgq A3DnrtV2uhO7vBzcdHbuCvI= =5JRD -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
