Hi there all

Question 1)I have read the PPP-HOW2 and changed the files that needed changing. I get connected an all is ok. I can ping the
DNS at 196.25.1.1 and 196.25.1.9 but when I try to ping www.saix.net I get no response.

Question 2) Here is the PPP conection that was displayed in the /var/log/messages file

As can be seen all is ok until the line that is in BLUE/BOLD/UNDER LINED(Aug 19 16:03:22), can some one tell me how to sort this out?

Thank you
