'dig' is usually a reasonable diagnostic tool.
I tried disabling the firewall, still nothing.
dig just reports "connection timed out; no servers could be reached"
Is there some reason to think that a working nameserver exists at the
address(es) in your resolv.conf?
Yes definitely, I've used the same list of nameservers on all my computers!
What has me puzzled is should Centos 4.4 not work as installed from the
CD's? I've installed a number of Linux's in the last ten years and they
usually work. Obviously something went wrong in the installation
process? I think the simplest thing will be to wipe this one out and
start over again, that is assuming that someone can tell me that it
normally works "out of the box." It takes less than an hour to install
and I've been frustrated at this attempt for five times that now.
I don't doubt that I've made some error but would like to know that it
should work, normally does when the CD install finishes?
Thanks.
