What's the actual error message? It could be a name resolution issue, if one thing works and others don't.
No error, just times out/hangs. Actually whois is also not working. Also just hangs. In /var/log message I do have the following: Jan 31 06:22:08 localhost restorecond: Will not restore a file with more than one hard link (/etc/resolv.conf) No such file or directory Jan 31 06:22:10 localhost restorecond: terminated Jan 31 06:22:10 localhost restorecond: Will not restore a file with more than one hard link (/etc/resolv.conf) Success I ran find -samefile /etc/resolve.conf to identify what files had hard links to this file (ls -l showed two hard links) and it hit on this file in addition to the actual file above: /etc/sysconfig/networking/profiles/default/resolv.conf The contents of /etc/resolve.conf is: ; generated by /sbin/dhclient-script nameserver ##.#.###.## nameserver ##.#.###.## search localdomain I neutered the IPs obviously. Thanks, Jacques
