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
