Sheesh guys, my bad, I totally forgot to update you on the problem. Well it was as easy as going to my Router, pulling off the dns it was pulling, and putting it into my conf file. Bam, it resolved all the urls and im up and running. I do like Redhat 8.0 by the way. Thank you all for your input and ideas. I wish I could attend the meeting tonight, however..tonight is "Tool" ;) they are playing in concert, and put on a hell of a show so i gotta go. However I WILL make it a point to be at the next one. This is the 1st mailing list I have ever enjoying being subscribed to, its interesting, great people, and alot of good info. I have been sitting back and reading learning as much as possable. I like the ideas being tossed around, and I really do enjoy how quick you all are to offer your support and teach others. thanx again for your help, and I hope to read more interesting info Tim
