I am running RH 8.0 (Pyscho) and cannot connect to the Internet with a 
web browser when trying to use a URL.

When using Netscape, the error message is (for example) when trying to 
reach Red Hat

	www.redhat.com could not be found

When using Konquerer, the message is

	hostname lookup failure

I can load the Redhat site if I give its IP address (66.187.232.56) in 
either browser. I can also ping varous sites using either the URL or 
the IP address.

My /etc/resolv.conf file is

	search pcisys.net
	nameserver 216.229.32.169

Which is the same file that works with my RH 7.3 system.

It seems that there is something not working with the nameserver but I 
  can figure it out.

Any suggestions?
