What is cnet? I don't have this tool in my /var/lib/dpkg/available. I have running Woody. This cnet is not a part of Woody. Is it a part of Potato (Debian2.2) or Sid? However. It sounds like a missconfigured cnet. read man cnet to find out how to configure. > ** Also, I just tried to set up my 56K modem and I ran a program called > ppp-up > ** and followed to instructions to the tee.

Till i heared about the file /etc/resolv.conf. This file is needed to get access to your ISP. And i had to create this file, cause it was there after installing Debian. For example take a look at my /etc/resolv.conf: domain http://www.msn.de nameserver 193.101.111.20 > ** Starting system log daemon : syslogd > ** > ** and then also for about another minute when loading the window manager.

Also a problem, cause your cnet is busy with his bad configuration? Or is your hard disk going to nirvana? Timo -- Nothing is impossible! You only need to know the way. :-) END
