DSL

[Dennis Castanos]

It happen again I tried pinging 64.233.167.99
It just search-hangs. I guess this means DNS resolution is failing. Correct?
Should I install bind9 on the local machine and set your primary DNS server 
to 127.0.0.1
The local machine would be my laptop, correct?  I don't mean to ask stupid 
questionss; I just want to get it right
Dennis, sort of new at linux
