For your netstat -r command to work it must be able to resolve to DNS. wvdial on't setup your DNS when it starts PPP. You have to make sure your /etc/resolv.conf file reflects to appropriate DNS info for the connection you're making. Here's what it should look like:
# /etc/resolv.conf domain plstn1.sfba.home.com # optional search plstn1.sfba.home.com. com. nameserver 24.1.80.33 nameserver 24.1.80.33 I switch out this file for the different networks I work from. jc On Sat, Apr 28, 2001 at 10:17:21PM +0200, Vincent Laisney wrote: > Hi, > I have a problem for the configuration of ppp (pppd) with a combi-card > modem+ethernet.
