Hello, I am trying to mount msdos on linux. I edited the fstab file to mount msdos. Would anybody please let me know if the "noauto" should be "auto" or something else? Also should the last set of numbers be 0 0 or 1 1? Thanks ~Sri [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linuxchix.org

Can you do anything else while you online? Try telnetting into your ISP. If you get unresolved host, you may need to enter a DNS entry from you ISP this should be placed in /etc/resolv.conf Beverly On Mon, 24 Jan 2000 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hi All; > > I'm a linux newbie and have been lu

Hi, Actually, if you are using kppp, you don't need to touch /etc/resolv.conf, but rather enter the primary (and any secondary) DNS server IP address(es) in the TCP/IP settings in kppp. In any case, she'll need that info, and all her other basic configuration info, from the ISP. It's all graphi

I connect successfully to my ISP using kppp but whenever I try to do anything with Netscape I can't get a name resolution. Am I barking up the wrong tree? Any sugesstions would be appreciated. Sally - Maybe you already tried this, but since I used to work at an ISP, I'll give my advice

Hi All; I'm a linux newbie and have been lurking on this list for a little while. Hope I don't sound too ignorant. I have installed and been running Caldera's Open Linux 2.3. It's been quite the learning experience, but I've managed to get to the point where I'd like to use the Netscape browser.
