I got to the list too late! (See what happens when you actually work for an hour! :0) I've had this happen to be before with other settings. Where I'd try and change the settings with a GUI, and instead of overwritting the settings, it just kept adding to them! In a lot of cases, what happens, is it will actually try the first server, then the second, then the third, and so on. But the page times out before it finds the correct DNS. In your case, I think it's KPPP that's adding all these additions to your /etc/resolv.conf. One suggestion I'd keep, is find another set of DNS servers, and keep them handy. Just to test with. I used to work at an ISP, and I use those from time to time just to test. NIC.ic.net internet address = 152.160.1.1 IUNET.ic.net internet address = 152.160.1.3 NOC.ic.net internet address = 207.40.105.33 I use those from time to time, for testing purposes and to make sure I have access to certain parts of the outside world. But after a while you're start to recognize things, of "Hey, that means there's something wrong with...." and you'll start coming up with answers like these. It's more about trial and error then it is experience! :0) tdh -- T. Holmes ----------------- UNIXTECHS.org [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----------------- "Real Men Use Vi!"

Yes my ISP had changed their DNS. They gave me the new | DNS numbers to put into windo$es which fixed windo$es. I put the same | numbers into KPPP. That helped for a while and then I could not get it | to work anymore. | | I checked my /etc/resolv.conf file and it had about 100 entries for the | old DNS and a pair for the new DNS. I made a copy of the original & then | delete all the old entries. Now linux is working again. How do you | people figure this out!!! It must be a terrible burden to be that | knowledgeable!!! Many many thanks Michael. | | Have a nice day | Charles | | Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? | Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com ------------------------------------------------------------------
