Thanks in advance. > -manny Things you could try: nslookup ns.yahoo.com should return Address: 204.71.177.33 nslookup 204.71.177.33 should return Address: 204.71.177.33 If not, check /etc/resolv.conf for and make sure your ISPs DNS servers are in there. Make sure there aren't any references to ns.yahoo.com in /etc/hosts. Are you running IPMASQ to share the phone line or is it a "Manny, get off the phone I need to check my e-mail!" type deal. Are you running Bind locally? If you are, stop bind and see what happens. Last thought, try the Java client and see if it chokes with a similar error. Everybuddy supports the Yahoo!Messagner stuff as well. Gabber might also. GTKYahoo, Gyach, Imici Messenger, and KYahoo seem to be other options (freshmeat.net is your friend.) -- Andy Zbikowski, Sys Admin | (PH) 763-428-9119 (EX:132) LTI Flexible Products, Inc. | (FAX) 763-428-9126 21801 Industrial Blvd | (PCS) 612-306-6055 Rogers, MN 55374 | (WEB) http://www.ltiflex.com -------------- next part -------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: tclug-list-unsubscribe at mn-linux.org For additional commands, e-mail: tclug-list-help at mn-linux.org
