Good. It appears as though DHCP is working (hence having a default gateway), so as someone else already suggested, call up the ISP, ask them what the DNS servers are and create a new file (/etc/resolv.conf), and add the following lines to it: search isp-domain.com nameserver ip-of-dns-server1 nameserver ip-of dns-server2 save the file and now try to: # ping google.ca and or: # dig google.ca Cheers, Steve > > Thanks > <jobse > > > > > > > ons 2004-06-16 klockan 20.18 skrev Steve Bertrand: >> > Well, I have no DNS installed, no server at all actually and I use >> > mozilla when connecting.
