Unable to resolve named addresses.

[Shaun Oliver]

My gateway is a p3 866 used by my partner.
The ip address is 192.168.0.1 and I got that specified in the
/etc/network/interfaces file and the /etc/hosts file.
So I don't get it.
I need her to be a dns for me too but I can't seem to get that part to
work.
Can't even mail out on my linux box.
Gotta use lookout 
Grrrr

Hi,
What are you using as you're gateway?  if its a hardware router such as
the Linksys box, you can have it automatically assign IP addresses to
clients that request it via DHCP.  What are the contents of your
/etc/resolve.conf file?
