To all:
 
Thanks to the people who sent suggestions about DNS. That did the trick.
Now for the other good news. Received a computer for a Christmas
present, see what a good boy I am ?. This machine will dual boot with
Win 98 and ?????. I have been reading all the messages about the
"flavors of Linux", Red Hat, Mandrake, and Slackware (go Navy). Which
one to install? Any suggestions? No one has ever mentioned BSD hmm.

	Check that your DNS entries are correct/inserted.  After a
connection, try
	pinging a site through IP & hostname:
	
	ping www.nflug.org
	
	ping 209.118.201.20
	
	This will give you an idea if it's a DNS problem.
	
	And just to keep this Linux(ish), make sure that you have your
partitions
	properly set (aka, enough space allocation for both OS's).

	Inside some of us is a thin person struggling to get out, but
