I am new to Linux (5 days) and I cannot get my internet connection to
function properly. My modem dials and connects to my ISP. It connects
but it will not resolve any URL's. I cannot ping by URL or open in a
browser. I can both ping and open in a browser by IP address. I have
entered the DNS server addresses provided by my ISP. The problem is
with my DNS resolution. I know that the DNS addresses are correct
because I tried them on my Win98 machine.

Here are some of the Linux files that should affect DNS.
**** /etc/resolv.conf
domain swbell.net
nameserver 151.164.1.8
nameserver 206.13.28.12
nameserver 207.115.59.241
**** /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1 localhost.localdomain localhost
**** /etc/host.conf
order hosts,bind
Any ideas?
