I've been on and off it all week long, but as of last night, DNS didn't seem to work for it. Network connectivity worked, because not only could I ssh *in*, but I could also contact the outside network as long as I used something in the hosts file or an IP address. Adding more (known good) DNS servers to /etc/resolv.conf doesn't seem to help. DNS was working recently, and I haven't changed anything since then. A reboot didn't help (I would have just stopped && started networking... but, well, all I have is ssh, so...). One very weird thing is that it can apparently send mail to outside network addresses. It could send to my gmail account fine last night, though it seemed to take a while (20 minutes or so, when normally it's instantaneous). I don't have gmail or google in my /etc/hosts. I've seen elsewhere to look at the output of iptables, but it has never been installed. The contents of /etc/nsswitch.conf are at http://vlack.com/vlack/lol/ nsswitch.conf. I'm getting nowhere, and I have no idea why. Thanks. - Micah -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
