Yes, the two Windows servers run the DNS. Beyond that is a SonicWall Firewall (not the problem, I checked), and then a high speed DSL. All PCs and thin clients are attached to D-link switches. Again, all Windows machines can browse all, Suse machines can browse only some. I cannot ping, say, www.sonicwall.com or browse to it from Suse 9.2. Windows machines load www.sonicwall.com without a problem. In VMWare running Win2k on a Suse machine all pages load. I have to use VMWare just to check my e-mail. I am more than happy to post any information required for help. I really think it is a local DNS problem, as I can't even get to the webpage for the ISP we are using, with Suse. Thank you.

On the suse boxes you have set the nameserver in etc/resolv.conf to point to your internal dns?Internal DNS does do forwarding? Have A and PTR records of suse boxes? _____________________________________________________________________ For super low premiums, click here http://www.dialdirect.co.za/quote
