(i've already entered dns(s) by hand and it *was* working until i ran NetworkManager which obliterated my /etc/resolv.conf file. then even after i re-entered the dns(s) by hand i couldn't get it to work again.) thanks again for all the help on this list! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
