I am installing FC4 on a friend's Toshiba Satellite laptop which has a
Marvell 88E8036 10/100 Base-TX Ethernet. I am using the Yukon GigE Linux
driver from Marvell's website. Everything seems to be working except for
name resolution. I can ping and connect to computers by ip address but
not by name. I can put in the names in /etc/hosts and then I can connect
by name.

I am using DHCP. This makes me think that there is some problem in
getting the DNS search path through DHCP.

Any suggestions on how to fix the problem?

DHCP should be telling your laptop the name server IP addresses and they should find their way to your /etc/resolv.conf file.

The information sent by your DHCP server will be in a file in /var/lib/dhcp3 (or something like it). That will tell you if it has sent name server IP addresses.

Your networking scripts should get them placed in /etc/resolv.conf

What part is broken?
