FC2 DNS domain resolve problem

flump · 08-14-2004, 01:28 PM

when connecting to the internet using the speedtouchconf file (i'm sure you'll all know what that is). it connects to the internet fine, but when i try to visit a website, such as google.com i get an error message saying it cannot be found.

if i try to get to a site using it's IP it works fine.

i can't ping domain names, or visit them. this is a fresh install of FC2 and it worked fine before i had done this.

check the content of
/etc/resolve.conf
if should contain
nameserver xx.xx.xx.xx
nameserver yy.yy.yy.yy

where xx.xx.xx.xx yy.yy.yy.yy is a dns address of you isp
