Mike,
You need to edit your \etc\resolv.conf file
sign on as root and open an editor.
I use joe for my editor. It is simple and has onscreen instructions.
you want to edit your file to show as follows:
domain your domain name (for example mine is elpasonet.net)
nameserver your primary dns number (for example 212.76.5.16)
save and close.
I've just reloaded mandrake 7.0 and had to reconfigure everything. I've found
that if I start root and then configure my kde modem connections the the
resolv.conf file sets up just fine. Then I log on as a local
user and set up my modem and everything works.
Good luck
Rick
ps I'll be looking for help from some of you gurus in installing fortify. For
some reason I'm having trouble this time.
