Hi Tate,

in addition to what Neill recommended - did you set the DNS under
YDL? I'm not sure how to do that in the graphical environment, but
you basically need to have the DNS entries in your /etc/resolv.conf
file to look somewhat like this:

domain earthlink.net.
nameserver <IP Address of primary server goes here>
nameserver <IP Address of secondary server goes here>
search earthlink.net.

Insert your IP addresses (of the name servers) and then you should be
up and running.
Can you ping another machine via

ping 17.254.0.91

for example? That's Apple's web server and you should be able to ping
it, even without the DNS entries, if your network is configured
correctly.

Best regards,
Chris
