Thanks for the suggestions ! :)
I tried to do
# nslookup www.sno.no
and returned,
---------------------------------------------
*** Can't find server name for address 202.14.67.4: Query refused
*** Can't find initialize address for server : Timed out
Server: localhost
Bus error
----------------------------------------------
and when I tried,
# traceroute www.sno.no
returned,
---------------------------------------
traceroute: unknown host www.sno.no
---------------------------------------
We don't have an internet server here. What we do is dial-up to the ISP to get
connected to the net. Does it matter?
Thanks!
Amanda
