I have done just about everything without luck. Want to log onto the internet with OmniWeb. I have an optimum modem with a static IP router..all software setting look good, where do we go from here :?:
show us your /etc/resolv.conf file. Here my original resolv.conf file that I was tinkering with and seems to work just fine. Note 192.168.1.1 is my router itself. The other three are public DNS servers on the 'net. The domain is specific to my ISP which is comcast of course.
openstep:/etc >cat resolv.conf
domain hsd1.va.comcast.net
nameserver 192.168.1.1
nameserver 66.93.87.2
nameserver 216.231.41.2
nameserver 64.102.255.44
Thanks now how do I get to this file? and most importantly when I enter into text edit how do I save it so that it is in the right location?
You need basic unix skills.
'su' to root
cd /etc
vi resolv.conf
(type 'i' for insert mode)
type the contents of the file
(hit 'esc' to go to command mode)
type :wq to write (save changes) and quit vi
ur done

you should better use "vi" or something from the shell.

go to the right location, es mentioned before -> /etc and create the file with the name resolv.conf. If you save the file, its on the right place.
I will take it from here for now. my nameservers are what has caused the problem.
