You say "often"; this happens intermittantly? When, say, gaim can't connect can other applications connect? Or is it that sometimes when you appear to be connected, *no* applications can connect? In one of these situations, look up the IP addresses of your DNS server(s) in /etc/resolv.conf. Try to ping them (e.g., if say your DNS server is 192.168.1.1, then at the command line, try ping 192.168.1.1). Do you get a response or does it time out? Try the command "dig www.microsoft.com". Does it work? -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
