CentOS - Sep 2004 - resolving urls

Hello all,

   I have a clerk connect box running at my library
and it is based on RH9.  I am having a little trouble
with resolving URLs.  I have two nics in it.  eth0
with an Internet connection and and eth1 which is my
inhouse LAN. Now I can ping IPs on the Lan, and On the
net but I can not ping URL's (www.yahoo.com) now I do
have an entry in resolv.conf  nameserver
xxx.xxx.xx.xxx  and this setup works the same on other
Linux boxes some redhat some CentOS.

If anyone has any suggestions?


Thanks
Dominic

Check the permissions on resolv.conf. I remember that in a default
installation of RHEL (and thus CentOS) resolv.conf wasn't permitted
to be used by any other user but root.

Dominic,

If you have two or more nameservers (as is normal),
you would have two or more lines in resolv.conf:

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.1
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.2

People usually have more than one nameserver because
one might not be working at any moment.

I hope this helps.

Rick
