Hello again:
I followed your instructions below and same problem, so I rebooted
windows went to my isp website and printed out configuration info,
obtained the correct dns settings, rebooted linux, and setup up kppp
correctly and I have the same problem. I get the following error when
pinging an address: "unknown host". The mail client also returns error
msg, cannot find server. Anymore ideas? Thanks
