Named doesn't need to be running if your /etc/resolv.conf points

'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!
Can you test them from something else now? (And I thought you said in
another message there was only one nameserver in your resolv.conf).
What has me puzzled is should Centos 4.4 not work as installed from the
CD's?
Yes, you are the first to mention a problem like this. That's why no
one is jumping in with an obvious solution. I'm not sure if I've
installed from 4.4 but I'm sure others have and I've upgraded through
all the versions. None had a problem with the dns resolver - that's not
something you could overlook.
