can't resolve web adresses after clean install of suse 7.1
Hi folks, It has not been a good week , power supply crapped out , trashing my fat partion , so I installed suse 7.1 clean new install on an older computer, The install went fine , but I just cant acess the web. I have a smoothwall dial up server / firewall whichw works nicely. I set up the 7.1 linux box , it pings all the other machines fine pings the smoothwall server fine but will not ping any wenb adresses at all. It keeps giving an error address not found. I have played with the resolve.conf file manualy adding search workgroup search smoothwall nameserver 10.20.30.9 to no avial. linux box is set to 10.20.30.3 , win box to 10.20.30.2 , samba box to 10.20.30.1 and smoothwall ips server to 10.20.30.9 These all ping fine , and they acess the internet no problems , all exept for the new 7.1 box 10.20.30.3 wich will not reslve internet names to ips rect.. Any Ideas ? I can not figure this one out.

Did you try to ping by IP address?
I have played with the resolve.conf file manualy adding
search workgroup search smoothwall
nameserver 10.20.30.9
to no avial.
linux box is set to 10.20.30.3 , win box to 10.20.30.2 , samba box to 10.20.30.1 and smoothwall ips server to 10.20.30.9
These all ping fine , and they acess the internet no problems , all exept for the new 7.1 box 10.20.30.3 wich will not reslve internet names to ips rect..

Can you run nslookup? Does it connect to your nameserver? -Kastus

Yes I can ping that router/smoothwall box ie ping 10.20.30.9

What is this and where should it be run from ?

nslookup is a command which performs name service lookup for you. If you start it without parameters it just connects to your default nameserver and waits for your command. You can then enter any host name and nslookup will try to resolve it to an IP address. Or you may specify name to look for as an argument, like: nslookup ftp.suse.com If it can't connect to your name server (specified in /etc/resolv.conf) you'll get just an error message. -Kastus
Can you run nslookup? Does it connect to your nameserver?

Have you checked /etc/host.conf - something exceedingly wierd may have happened and your host.conf file may have changed. Only other thing is that I'm not sure you can have two 'search' lines - you probably can, but I'm not 100%.
