Instructions to unsubscribe from this list at the end of the message - --------------------------------------------------------------------- Hello Guys,
I think I'm finally close to getting the internet to work! Here's what happened First, I connected using Window$ and using the ipconfig command I copied my DNS servers. I then pasted these in /etc/resolv.conf. So, my resolv.conf file currently contains the following: Search localdomain 212.56.128.132 212.56.128.196 I tried to do: /sbin/route add default ppp0 before connecting. I got the error: SIOCADDRT: No such device I then connected to the internet, and tried doing this again - this time it worked. I then tried browsing the net, and this wouldn't work. BUT when I tried pinging my DNS server it worked! I got a reply. I then tried browsing the net using only IP addresses - and this worked too! So the problem is that I can't browse the net by domain names. When I tried pinging a server by name, I got the error "unknown host". While connected, the route command displays the following: Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 192.168.1.100 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 10.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth1 127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0 The first and last entries (192.168.1.100 and default) are not displayed before connecting, and when I disconnect they disappear again. Also, when I reconnect, 192.168.1.100 is displayed again, but default isn't - I have to stay adding it again. Without adding default, browsing (even by IP) does not work. I think it's a small problem, which shouldn't be hard to solve (I hope) ;) Keith - --------------------------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the linux mailing list.
