Do you have a default DNS set in /etc/resolv.conf? It should have a line like

Code:

nameserver XXX.YYY.ZZZ.VVV

Note that you may specify which DNS to ask using dig. Example:

Code:

dig @XXX.YYY.ZZZ.VVV something.org

i have it, actualy i just follow sample configuration in the net....my config on /etc/resolv.conf like this

search mydomain.cxm
search linuxhost.mydomain.cxm linuxhost
namesever 192.168.102.3
nameserver 127.0.0.1

this is no firewall choices during installations

thanks

namesever 192.168.102.3
nameserver 127.0.0.1

These are wrong unless you have a DNS server running on the 192 ip machine or on the localhost.

You should contact your ISP and ask them what are the DNS server names and IP numbers for your connection/ISP/domain, and enter those valeus into the file /etc/resolv.conf
