help! I can not get DNS properly setup. I followed the "Red Hat Linux
Unleashed" book to a T but still having problems. I can ping a local host
using it's name. Example:

ping patw

but when I do an nslookup of patw I get a.

Cant find server name for address 192.0.1.27: Server failed
Default servers are not available.

If anyone can help with this problem please email me at jeffb@instanet.com

I am using Red Hat 5.2.

thanks in advance
