[olug] Red Hat network problem

[Williams, John W.]

Sorry it took so long to get back but this is what I am looking at.  It all
looks fine to me and I can get outside via IP address but still can't get
name resolution to work.  The ping I did was to my primary DNS.  Is there
anything else I should look for?
Thanks for your help.
