Internet Dial-up Connection Setting
Hi everyone, I have somewhat different problem. I use Lucent Dual Chipset modem which is on PCI slot 1 (under XP) at COM3. Additionally I have Realtek RTL8139 family PCI Fast Ethernet at NIC #1 & 2. Last night I installed Debian and skipped to configure internet setting later. Later when I tried, it gave error message "/etc/resolv.conf is missing. Create with appropriate read and write permission". I dont know what this means, as I am new, and what should I do to configure and use internet. I tried man resolv.conf and from there I got the impression that either in the proporlly configured systems does not need it, or there are certain "human readable" params that might need fixing with proper values. I did vi resolv.conf and there was nothing - completely empty. Could anyone tell me in little detail what exactly I should be doing. Unable to get local expertise ont his matter made me to turn to this community. Thanks for understanding. __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Basically it consists of two lines - the two nameservers you will use and your ISP should have provided. So it will look like: nameserver aaa.bbb.ccc.dd1 nameserver aaa.bbb.ccc.dd2 If you don't have these details, check your network connection settings in XP, and use the nameservers from there. -- Szia: Nyizsa. -- Click to receive help removing your credit card debt http://tags.bluebottle.com/fc/CAaCMPJkiZqwhcTtiHIKQC7WvRTCQNql/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Just do 'touch /etc/resolv.conf' as root. > Basically it consists of two lines - the two nameservers you will use and > your ISP should have provided.

Run pppconfig. It will install scripts that will take care of this automatically. -- John Hasler -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
