- First of all, run, do not walk, to your telephone and order the upgrade
- to TCP/IP 1.3. The 1.2 version is so buggy that even the Orkin man
- gave up on it. (For example, pinging another machine can cause your
- machine to crash.)
-
- Now that I've got that off my chest... My guess is that you changed
- your nameserver information when you updated sendmail. Check out
- what you've got in /etc/resolv.conf. If that looks kosher, make
- sure you've got a route to the nameserver(s) with netstat -nr.
