static ip address not resolving names

cannonfodder:
Using micro core 2.6.1.

Trying to set up a static ip.

Followed the instructions in http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php?topic=2987.0...

I can ping my ISPs DNS IP but not www.google.com ('bad address').

That is, since I can ping IPs, my connection is fine but domain names are't being resolved.

roberts:
What did you enter for DSN Name Servers?
What is in /etc/resolv.conf ? Typically the DNS IPs are supplied by your ISP.
If needed you can use public DNS servers, e.g.,

208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

or

8.8.8.8
4.4.4.4

Just be sure you can ping them before trying to use them.

gerald_clark:
The Google public DNS servers are
8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.

cannonfodder:
I can ping my ISP's DNS and 8.8.8.8 but not 4.4.4.4...

/etc/resolve.conf is identical to another machine running Tiny Core that CAN ping www.google.com.

No other machine on the LAN is unable to ping www.google.com.

Using DHCP, the problem machine CAN ping www.google.com.

roberts:
As was pointed out the secondary DNS server is not 4.4.4.4 but 8.8.4.4.
