DNS not working on RH6.2 box

[curtas]

I just set up a RH6.2 box (start of a Beowulf cluster), and it can't seem to find the network.

I can ping IP addresses directly, but it can't find the nameserver (again, though, I can ping it )

I've set up the resolv.conf, nsswitch, and host.conf files.

Still, nothing.

The server is a RH7.3 server, if that helps.

thanks,

Does the line in resolv.conf read "nameserver 1.2.3.4"? Is there a firewall in place blocking udp traffic (and/or port 53)?

No, resolv.conf was set up right.

I solved the problem. The IP address was 192.168.0.10, but for some reason the installer made it 192.168.0.1, which is the same as the server. Needless to say, this screwed up the network.

I fixed it manually and everything works great now.

thanks for the input though. If anyone is searching on this, resolv.conf is the first place you should look.

thanks,
