May 8, 2005 #2 coffeysm MIS Oct 7, 2004 571 US I use Solaris but it should be similar to Slackware. Check your /etc/resolv.conf it should something like this: search domainname.com nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx Also check your /etc/nsswitch.conf look for the hosts: line. It should resemble this: hosts: files dns [NOTFOUND=return] If dns is after files then add it. Upvote 0 Downvote
