Re: [SLE] Browsers take a long time to resolve ip address

I just recently installed Suse 9.1 on an older pc. I have most everything working now but I have a problem when the browsers (Mozilla 1.7 & Konquarer) try to convert an address to the ip address. It acts like something has to time out and then it goes ok until it has to resolve another address. I set up the gateway and it does eventually get the ip address. Does anyone have any idea where to start looking? Bob Rawlinson

This usually indicates that the primary dns server was unreachable and timed out then the secondary was contacted. Do pings take a long time to resolve also? Can you ping/telnet to the primary name server for this box? Jeff
