Re: [LI] problem with accessing network.

Hi Vibhu
    if you are directly pinging say
$ping foo where foo is the name of the server. then there has to be
some way of resolving the hostname (basically I am trying to bring
in nameserver.
For this resolution of hostname you will have to edit the /etc/resolv.conf

try
$man 5 resolver

HTH
