I did as you suggest, but no progress, unfortunately. Maybe, I should buy a Ethernet modem... I guess you mean external modem here? My spellchecker does this too :-)) What type of modem do you have? Winmodem??? Does it work in any other operating systems you have access to? Have you talked to your ISP? Does your ISP have a FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) which addresses this type of problem? I would suggest that if you are on dialup then an external modem is a much more reliable option despite the bunch of extra cables it imposes on you. The other think to check is that your ISP' dns numbers and domain name are listed in both /etc/ppp/resolv.conf and /etc/resolv.conf - like mine below: $ cat /etc/ppp/resolv.conf nameserver 203.97.33.14 nameserver 203.97.37.14 $ cat /etc/resolv.conf search clear.net.nz localhost.localdomain nameserver 203.97.33.14 nameserver 203.97.37.14 nameserver 192.168.1.2 Cheers John (nz) Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

[newbie] LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests

What can I do about this? Help please! Thanks,
