Hi Kuraiken
Yes I have the dns setup correct and I am connecting to the internet, I am very
knowlegable about computers since I have a computer consulting and sales business
and have built many computers, I am using a external US Robotics Courier V9- modem
and yes it is connecting. I also get the connecting box and have pinged the ip
addess with sucess. The problem has always been and is trying to send/receive mail
and use Netscape, both return errors as I have previous stated. Lets not waste your
time with the modem, it is ok and it is connecting, in fact it connects faster with
Linux then it does with Win98. I will check the /resolv.config file and get back
with you. Thank you for your efforts and your time, I hope I can get Linux working,
it looks promising.
