Second, what does your /etc/resolv.conf look like? Do you have your
ISP's DNS servers in there? Here's mine -- Make your /etc/resolv.conf
look like this if you don't have it (substituting YOUR ISP for mine,
and their DNS for mine, as well <G> Oh, and all this needs to be done
as "root.")
search chattanooga.net
nameserver 209.54.120.2
nameserver 209.54.120.3
Also, there's supposedly a checkbox to "set hostname" or some such in
kppp. Do NOT check that.
If neither of those helps, get back to us for more suggestions.
