Thanks for all the help so far. I've been trying some other things, and have found that I cannot connect to a local site using telnet through linux (using the site's computer name).
Also, I found the IP Address of the ftp.debian.org ftp site by going to it in netscape (under Win95), and reading the 'connecting to server ...' numbers. I tried to connect to this using the ftp open command, and got the error 'no root to server'. I have looked at the resolv.conf file, and it has two valid entries for nameservers. There is also a line 'lookup rmwh2.trin.cam.ac.uk'. This is my computers name. Thanks Richard Harran. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
