If you can ping the DNS servers, you are done. The link works!
- try running `route' to see if you have a default router and try to
ping the router
you may be unable to ping anything outside your providers network
because they use some firewall. I have the same problem.
- try telnet(i sent `GET /' request to a web server) :
[hramrach@uvt407-5 ML]$ telnet mandrake.com 80
