Chances are this is NOT a DNS issue. Try to PING www.cisco.com by name and see if you get name resolution. If you resolve the name to an address then DNS is not at fault here.
I believe that your issue is more likely caused by an MTU problem. PPPOE requires 8 bytes of overhead and so your MTU now must be set to 1492 or less. The reason you can PING anything you want to is that your IP stack will typically use a small transmission size for ICMP (PING) by default. You can test this by typing "ping /?" on a Windows host to get the correct syntax and then change the transmission size to 1500 and see if the PING still works like it did. -----Original Message----- From: Derrick Monahan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, July 29, 2002 6:10 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: ADSL - unable to reach URL's [7:50068] I have been setting up a DSL connection for a home user, but he is currently unable to reach ANY website. I am able to ping IP addresses of servers on the internet and get a reply. But, neither IE nor Netscape is able to reach a single page (via IP or Name). The DHCP servers gives his adapter an IP address and gateway of the same address. The subnet is a /24. He is using the PPPoE adapter and no router or firewall exists at his site. I hardcoded the DNS server addresses to ensure DNS name resolution, but this did not fix anything. If you have any recommendations please reply. This should be a simple task to complete, but obviously I am missing something.
