Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Jeff, Everything was ok till I got to $ nslookup -sil www.yahoo.com Server: 216.148.227.68 Address: 216.148.227.68#53 I do [EMAIL PROTECTED] nslookup -sil www.yahoo.com bash: nslookup: command not found I ping both yahoo addresses and no luck. I am doing everything in # root or $ user as you print . My service provider is using or requires PPPoE , no static ip. What could be it?
