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"

post these; cat /etc/resolv.conf cat /etc/nsswitch.conf |grep -v ^#
