I use OpenDNS so my /etc/resolv.conf looks like: domain blackgold.org search blackgold.org nameserver 208.67.220.220 nameserver 208.67.222.222
I'm not sure what the 'domain' and 'search' parts are, but anyway, I can ping both debian.crosslink.net and ftp.us.debian.org and suffer no surfing troubles. I changed sources.list back to use 'lenny' again and I'm getting errors with that now too. I've not messed with my system. The last time was using aptitude to "Update" security updates. If I recall all of them where libraries. What would be the next thing I could check?
