Sounds like name resolution - it took me a long time to understand problems related to this when I first started using Linux (strokes beard!!!). I don't use wvdial but look for some setting in there for getting the nameservers from the server when you connect to your ISP. or Set them in /etc/resolv.conf by finding out what they should be from your ISP. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
