Unknown host error message when trying to ping Internet

[bof]

Apparently they have changed their systems, for 216.229.33.250 was their 
DNS server for some time and I did not look it up.

At any rate, I plugged in your values into /etc/resolv.conf and still 
get the same unknown host message.

BTW, I was under the impression that Suse had changed Yast so that it 
would accept values entered manually, which is how I have been editing 
the configuration files. But when I tried using Yast2 it was still 
calling up the older values and was not picking up the ones I had 
manually entered.  So I changed them using Yast2  also.

Still same problem  "unknown host: pcisys.net"
