Re: [newbie] resolv.conf goes to different ip as soon as ppp0 starts
my reason for wanting to stop IPchains was that I get a screen full of error messages and then boot freezes, unless I use the "I" option when Mandrake asks at the start of "interactive startup" I have not ever changed the dns numbers from the ones my ISP gave me years ago, and they work on all the other machines around here.

Re: [newbie] resolv.conf goes to different ip as soon as ppp0 starts
If your mean that you internal clients are set up using the original DNS servers, then as long as those servers remain in service tose settings should work. It may be that you ISP is(was) actually contracting the DNS servers and has changed to a different service, or established their own servers. If the ISP changed services, or set up their own servers, they are problably now configuring your internet box you use these new servers. That shouldn't make too much of a difference to your internal machines. But, we still can't help with your configuration without a description of what you have. --Greg my reason for wanting to stop IPchains was that I get a screen full of error messages and then boot freezes, unless I use the "I" option when Mandrake asks at the start of "interactive startup" I have not ever changed the dns numbers from the ones my ISP gave me years ago, and they work on all the other machines around here.

Even so, kppp keeps deleting the content of resolv.conf as "user". I also notice that, while the connection is open, the text inside resolv.conf is "search localdomain". Summing up: As user, the contents of resolv.conf are: nameserver x nameserver y before using kppp search localdomain during kppp usage (neither kmail nor netscape can find the server) empty after kppp usage Any help would be appreciated, /Gustavo.
