Jamie - thanks for spotting that typo. I've changed it and although the empty 'search' is still in /etc/resolv.conf everything does now work fine (and note that both MacOS and XP had worked fine with .42 or .43!): DEBIAN BOX: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ less /etc/resolv.conf search nameserver 158.152.1.58 nameserver 158.152.1.43 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ nslookup www.bbc.co.uk Server: 158.152.1.43 Address: 158.152.1.43#53 Non-authoritative answer: www.bbc.co.uk canonical name = www.bbc.net.uk.
