I updated my Linux with fixed rp3 and ppp from errate. But the problem persists. My modem is ok, working fine under win98. rp3 dialed into ISP, but could not find even home.netscape.com. My /etc/resolv.conf contains the right nameserver IP address, even my /etc/ppp/resolv.conf is the same. I have been reinstalled my Linux many many times. It is frustrating! Thank you for your attention. Regards
This is odd. If your ISP's nameservers are listed in /etc/resolv.conf, things should be working. Check that when you run "/sbin/ifconfig", you get a section in the output dedicated to ppp0, and that when you run "/sbin/route -n", you have exactly one line with "0.0.0.0" in the "genmask" column, and the corresponding "gateway" value on that line is the same as the "P-t-P" value given for the ppp0 interface by ifconfig. Is your PC networked to other computers in your home? What are the contents of your /etc/resolv.conf file?
