Don't know if you have done all neccessary things. Do you have the file /etc/resolv.conf? This is sometimes missing and you have to create it. This is my resolv.conf: domain http://www.msn.de nameserver 193.101.111.20 This file is very important to gett access to your ISP. Timo -- Nothing is impossible! You only need to know the way. :-)
