I have a strange problem, I have the addresses of my ISP's dns servers correctly entered in the resolv.conf file on my box, but I'm still not resolving address outside of my network. I can ping public IP's fine, just not names. I ran a tcpdump when I went to ping www.go.com (http://www.go.com) to set up an example. I don't know what to make of it, so I'm posting it here. Can anybody tell me what's wrong and how to fix it? :confused: :mad: :confused:

NOTE: Hostname and IP's were modified due to a simple thing known as paranoia. :D

[root@MYCOMP sbin]# ./tcpdump host 192.168.0.27 and 123.456.0.789
Kernel filter, protocol ALL, TURBO mode (575 frames), datagram packet socket
tcpdump: listening on all devices
