This makes no sense to me. I can go to www.yahoo.com in a browser but I
can't ping yahoo.com and nothing on my network blocks pings or
yahoo.com. I also can't ping local hosts in my hosts list but I can
ping their ip address. This is a fedora core 5 install and everything
was working fine untill i ran yum update. Something else thats odd,
ping does not say that it has failed or can't connect, it just hangs
untill I break it. I also tried putting a nfs entry in my fstab and
that wont mount either (it uses a host name instead of a ip address).
Here is my resolv.conf
------
search sondermuell
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 216.231.41.2
nameserver 66.93.87.2
------
Check the "hosts" entry in your /etc/nsswitch.conf
