Hiya, as far as i can tell no. I played (read cleaned up, oops) the config,
and everything seems ok, but i can't ping anything other than localhost. . I
got nslookup working and checked, got dig going, everything else, but i
think i'm missing something really basic, i just can't work it out.

I get an network unreachable response when i do a ping local.com which i
guess means it is trying look for it offsite. I'll have to go and check the
files again i guess, though it propably has something to do with the
/etc/hosts file i've just been reading about.

This may be a stupid question, but you didn't mention it: do you have
your /etc/resolv.conf pointing in the right place?
