Michael, Hi. As you've by now realized/found out, using a VPN client can often wreck havoc with your system/dns/ip addresses. In fact, you might actually run into an issue where you have device conflicts if you happen to have staticly allocated ip addresses in your network, and you hook to a vpn setup that has used the same subclass... gotta be careful these days!! -----Original Message----- From: fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx [mailto:fedora-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Michael H.

Although I've had this problem a few times, I rebooted today, and most things seem to be working. The DNS problem seems to have fixed itself. I think maybe the problem was actually related to an SSL-VPN client I'm using (Juniper Network Connect), which is heavy handed, and changed my DNS suffix and secondary DNS servers.
