I added the "Stupid Mode = yes" line in my /etc/wvdial.conf and that made wvdial to successfully get me connected, however that just took me one block ahead of where i was. It still isnt resolving any URLs. Firefox shows me the "Looking up...." msg for quite a looooooong time and then gives up eventually. And if i got it right, i guess "disabling Carrier Check" is the same as adding the "stupid mode = yes" string in the conf file or is it something else? Also, I tried using the OpenDNS service, by using their DNS server IP addresses, but it still changes back to another set of DNS ips the moment i disconnect and redial, may be because we are not assigned any static IPs by Tata Indicom(?) Please help with this. Thanks a ton in advance. PS: Please confirm if the list received multiple copies (7) of my mail in the beginning of this thread. I regret any inconvenience to you because of that if the list did receive all those mails shown to me only in my web-mail interface. I had no idea about them when i sent out the mail using Mozilla Thunderbird. -- Regards kamal ---- { LINUXERS http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers /} -- http://mm.glug-bom.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxers
