[lug] Cannot connect to the Internet with a web browser when trying to use an URL.

[BOF]

I am running RH 8.0 (Pyscho) and cannot connect to the Internet with a 
web browser when trying to use an 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 lookup 
but I can not figure it out.

Any suggestions?
