Sigh... I don't think this resolves the problem. We reinstalled from scratch and now the box work. We are also using straight IP's (e.g. 192.168.0.1) as this is a mini-network for ISDN dial-in that has two Polycom Videoteleconference devices running IP and 2 RH8.0 servers running FTP. All of the attempts we have tried so far have been using IP all on the local 192.168.0.0 class C private address. Further on my home network when I upgraded to RH8.0 I cannot now see my other computer (which acts as my gateway), even though a simple re-boot into RH7.3 on another partition does work on the network. In all cases I have not messed with resolv.conf.

Networking on a lan. On several machines after upgrading or a clean install the network gives a "Destination Host unreachable" message. Dropping back to RH 7.3 solves the problem or, in one case, re-installing RH 8.0 seems to solve the problem. > Sounds like a combination of one or two of the following. Your dns server designation is wrong and/or your /etc/resolv.conf is not correctly constructed. For example a resolv.conf of: search CS.Trinity.Edu tucc.trinity.edu engr.trinity.edu chem.trinity.edu nameserver 131.194.131.168 nameserver 131.194.151.1 Will allow you to type micro and reach micro.CS.Trinity.Edu or micro.tucc.trinity.edu, etc. -- ------------------------------------------- Aaron Konstam Computer Science Trinity University 715 Stadium Dr. San Antonio, TX 78212-7200 telephone: (210)-999-7484 email:akonstam@trinity.edu Ramon P.
