what does /sbin/route display? also, i hope you aren't trying to use the 192.168.1.xxx address directly. i.e. i hope that your DSL router, or your NAT router sits between your machine and the net. martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@.net -- windoze 98: n. useless extension to a minor patch release for 32-bit extensions and a graphical shell for a 16-bit patch to an 8-bit operating system originally coded for a 4-bit microprocessor, written by a 2-bit company that can't stand for 1 bit of competition.

/sbin/route is an executable. run it and it should give a little table with routes. rick On Mon, 05 Mar 2001, pplaw wrote: On Mon, Mar 05, 2001 at 03:55:58PM -0500, MaD dUCK wrote: what does /sbin/route display? // cat /sbin/route gives me garbage characters.

now i just need to specify my isp's dns's (207.76.102.251/252). (i forget where that's specified. locate *dns* gave me cold leads.) where do i set that? /etc/resolv.conf are you using a laptop or a desktop? i am assuming the latter, so please do a man interfaces to find out how to permanently configure your machine. martin [greetings from the heart of the sun]# echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]:1:[EMAIL PROTECTED]@@@.net -- may the bluebird of happiness twiddle your bits.

debs, please ignor prior messageproblem resolved.
