DNS does not work, but TCP/IP is functioning - I can do anything by IP Address, but nothing by domain name.

I ran 10.1.5 with no problems. Finally was able to upgrade to 10.2 and
am no longer able to use a domain name for anything. When I did the
install for 10.2, all my settings were kept. OS 9.2.2 continues to
function - all my web browsing, email and news group reading now is
restricted to OS 9. (not entirely true - I use Remote Desktop Control to connect to a server at work and then do somethings that way - only if desparate and not wanting to reboot into OS 9)

What I have done:
Removed all other protocols from Networking preferences - only internal ethernet remains.
Added DNS servers and search domain name as per my OS 9.2.2 system (DNS
works fine). I am able to ping all the DNS servers.
Removed all DNS entries (suggested by a friend who does not use any on
his system).
Tried the PB at a variety of different locations (home, office, friends)
- all with different network configurations (servers, routers). In all
cases OS 9.2.2 works fine, OS X 10.2 does not.

What I have not done:
Tried dial-up - never use it anymore.
Re-installed the OS.

Any suggestions?

okay. what kind of information do you get if you type, in the command line:

ps ax | grep lookupd

i.e., is lookupd running?

We can take this to email if you'd prefer . . . I'll be glad to help you
work through it although I am a little hazy with how DNS works under OS X.

Result from ps ax | grep lookupd

300 ?? Ss 0:01.72 lookupd
416 std R+ 0:00.02 grep lookupd

Getting into the UNIX side is not a core strength of mine. Email is fine
if you like.
