If the problem is in resolving a host

I couldnt locate this file: /etc/resolv.conf file, instead what came up was 
"Kview".

The 3 lines you mentioned are now a file. thanks.i used both Kate, and 
netconfig.:-)

"hostname unknown" still pops up, even though yahoobb219060168034.bbtec.net 
comes up in a game`s "connect to server" address bar.Aswell as the other 
indicatprs at /etc/DHCP...' etc.

Is Anyone usiing YahooBB with Redhat 7.2? how did you get it to happen?
