I've just installed Centos 4.4 on a computer, replacing FC6, and the

first thing I find is that DNS does not work no matter what I have in

/etc/resolv.conf.  It should at least work with my ISP's assigned server

but doesn't.  Numerical URL's work via the browser and ping.  Is there

something else I need to attend to?

I hope this is the right list for such questions.

Thanks.

Named isn't started by default, even if you install caching-nameserver.

Named doesn't need to be running if your /etc/resolv.conf points elsewhere.  Do you have firewalls blocking port 53?

'dig' is usually a reasonable diagnostic tool.

I tried disabling the firewall, still nothing.

dig just reports "connection timed out; no servers could be reached"
