To recap: 1. Your eth0 is configured with an IP address 2. You can ping that IP 3. You have a default gateway configured 4. You can ping it 5. You have a DNS configuration (/etc/resolv.conf) ... When you did "cat /etc/resolv.conf" what did you see? Your nslookup command above shows the same DNS server from my example. You need to ping the IP addresses you see in your /etc/resolv.conf file, if there are any. Unless you are on the same network I am, my DNS servers won't respond to you. 6. You can ping your DNS server 7. You can get a domain name resolved by your DNS server (nslookup) Notes: On the PPPoE thing, are you gererating the PPPoE tunnel from your PC or from a device between your PC and the internet. If your provider supplied a device (e.g. DSL router), then it's likely it is doing the DHCP/DNS config for your PC. That's fine, too. I hope all this is helping. Once you've gone through this a few times you'll be an old-pro! :-) jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
