DNS reverse lookup problems...

[doug mackenzie]

Hello!
recently, my sympatico ADSL stopped functioning correctly. Using the roaring
penguin pppoe script 'adsl-connect' I can connect to the internet, showing
me the list of remote IP address, local IP address, and the IP addresses of
the 2 DNS servers for sympatico.

I can ping IP addresses successfully, but when I try to ping a domain, I get
the error message "www.whatever.com not found". When I attempt to connect to
the internet through my windows partition, there is no problem, and this
leads me to believe that the problem is with my linux settings, rather than
with the sympatico dns servers. Where would I go to correct my linux
configuration?

regards,
doug
