Just to confirm, this is ppp via dial-up not ppp-over-ethernet? > > Now am I missing something? No messing around with the resolve.conf file of > hosts file?

If you enter: $/sbin/ifconfig you should see the IP address of both ends of the link; one you're, the other the ISP. You should be able to ping both of those IP numbers. There should be something in /etc/resolv.conf that points to the nameservers provided by your ISP. I'm not much help with vwdial since I use pppconf and the resolvconf package. Since you're running SuSE, I don't know where they put what networking-related configs e.g. nameservers, routes, etc. Good luck, Doug. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
