Ok, there was recently a connection interruption with our AT&T cable service, and after it was recovered, my windows machines all worked fine with the internet.

However, my linux box will no longer connect to any internet. It gives me a DNS LOOKUP FAILED error.

What I need to know is, what the heck could cause this, and how could I possibly correct the problem? (its happened before, and I gave up after so long and just formatted the hard drive and started over. I really dont want to do that again...)

where does linux 7.3 hide the lovely DNS files and such?

And yes, i've tried restarting the computer. I can't ping any IPs, its so weird.

Thanks!
Marc

Your DNS configuration file should be in /etc/resolv.conf, there should be three places for info

search domain
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Check it out I hope that helps.
