Help!
I'm a newbie with some experience on Sun platforms. I'm using RH 6.0 on a
Pentium, and trying to set up a successful connection with my ISP. I can
log on and establish a PPP connection, and the connection lasts until it
times out for lack of activity (generally about 15 minutes). However, I
can't get anything to work! Netscape just searches and searches... my mail
clients can't connect to the mail server even though I have the correct
settings, etc. I can ping anyplace on the Net that I know of, so I know
that they are "out there". But I can't get any of my clients to work.
Suggestions? (Solutions preferably!)
Thanks,
Don Richards

Don,
Have you remembered to edit your/etc/resolv.conf
search <ISP Domain Name>
nameserver <DNS#>
nameserver <DNS#>
Your ISP should be able to provide you with two DNS #'s
HTH,
Mike
