Re: [newbie] Internet in the UK
I use 195.92.195.94 and 195.92.195.95 to connect to freeserve unlimited PAP authentication Dynamic IP address the Gateway/Login/Accounting are left as they defaulted to when I installed. I had no need to edit any files, just set up Kppp as above and away it went. Poogle On Tue, 31 Oct 2000, you wrote: > Has anyone managed to setup a connection to freeserve in the UK?

RE: [newbie] Internet in the UK
I think so you can use 193.140.62.200 / 193.140.61.56 or 194.27.149.19 Gürkan Deveci -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2000 2:51 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Internet in the UK In a message dated 31/10/00 18:57:19 GMT Standard Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: << tup the PPP correctly-ish.

Problem with that is your system is at severe security risk connecting to the Net with Windoze, no matter what kind of AV/firewall software you try to add to it. It's worse than connecting with Linux as root and with no firewall and security set to 'come on crackers' ;> 'nslookup' see man or info nslookup which also says: SEE ALSO named(8), resolver(3), resolver(5) My recent ISP (Earthlink) uses different DNS for different locations. EL unfortunately runs on Netscape Enterprise (AoL crap). I had some trouble at first setting up Kppp. I was never told they use chap instead of pap, and I didn't think to ask. Another problem was I was given one good DNS number and one wrong one (for my location). Their tech support further confused the issue by contradictory responses about which was wright/wrong, which was primary/secondary. If you're foolhardy enough to connect with Windoze this isn't a problem as EL's Windoze CD software dials in and gets the local info. Confused?, I was so I left Kppp blank, got a connection and did 'nslookup'. It reports a completely different number, EL tech says "you're not supposed to know that ... how did you get it?" ;> Needless to say they were suspicious of why I even needed this info, "just put the Earthlink CD in an it'll set it up for you". By the time the CD came in the mail I'd had a connection for several days ;) To shorten this up, I often see people answer these DNS questions with the the old tried and true 'edit /etc/ppp/ resolve.conf' and enter the numbers your ISP gave you'. Good advice most of the time, but not always true. It depends on the ISP you're using. I have the (correct) numbers I finally got from EL entered in Kppp. Linux does an "auto-detect" on connection to EL and gets the 'real numbers' and puts 'em in resolve.conf ;> BTW, my neighbors on EL, using Windoze (and winmodems) can only get 28,8 or 26,4 connections due to the phone lines. I get always get 31,2 and sometimes 33,6 using Linux. (I have a 33,6 hardware modem).

Anyother Ip addresses for sites that you may wish to know can be found using the ping command in a terminal. ie: ping www.freeserve.co.uk Andrew

Re: [newbie] Internet in the UK
Do you have windows? For some weird reason windows can auto-detect the DNS while linux cannot. Can anyone explain this? Connect under windows. Now you must run c:\windows\winipcfg.exe. Click More Info and there will be a field containing the ips for the DNS servers. - Original Message - From: "Jamie Kerwick" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2000 5:38 PM Subject: [newbie] Internet in the UK > Has anyone managed to setup a connection to freeserve in the UK?

[newbie] Internet in the UK
Has anyone managed to setup a connection to freeserve in the UK? I have managed to setup the PPP correctly-ish. It connects to the server however, i get no server found when trying to goto sites. I think that the problem is that i have no DNS listed in the PPP properties, the problem is that i don't know the IP address of the DNS which freeserve uses. Can anyone tell me, or give me the IP address of a different DNS which i could use, (i am under the impression that any valid DNS will do, is this so?) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
