I don't have a router unless the DSL modem is acting as one.

'/etc/ppp/resolver.conf' dosent exist the file '/etc/resolv.conf' does. [EMAIL PROTECTED] hoyt]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=192.168.0.1 NETWORKING=yes [EMAIL PROTECTED] hoyt]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf search domain_not_set.invalid nameserver 192.168.0.1 nameserver 192.168.0.1 I set this yesterday to the nameservers provided by sbcglobal but it always gets reset. I need a way to put the right nameservers in this file instead of my DSL modem. -- Regards; Hoyt
