I had the same problem when I installed 1.2 clean. It tells you in
the install to separate your nameservers with a comma, but you MUST NOT do
this or it will generate a broken /etc/resolv.conf Go into your
/etc/resolve.conf and make sure you have nameserver entries like:
nameserver 1.2.3.4
nameserver 5.6.7.8 (should you have more than one nameserver they need to be
on separate lines like this)
the install program with commas actually generates:
nameserver 1.2.3.4,5.6.7.8
*argh* this caused me all sorts of trouble when I installed :(
