resolv.conf on sarge had

search
nameserver 204.127.203.135
nameserver 216.148.225.135

so I checked my mandriva box and it had

nameserver 204.127.203.135
nameserver 216.148.225.135

so I changed sarge to same as mandriva without any luck
I reset my cable modem and linksys router with no change.
I can ping and ssh to/form sagre from to any linux box on my network, 
but sarge is the only one that can't get out ot the real world, arrrgghh
