Hoyt, My /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 - which defines my local network, yours _should look somewhat similar, being in mind that the ip numbers may be different.

This is what I have in /etc/sysconfig/network [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ cat /etc/sysconfig/network HOSTNAME=pilot.localhost.localdomain NETWORKING=yes GATEWAY= [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ And is what I would expect to see in yours, There's something not right about your network setup (not wrong, just not right). In just about every network setup I've seen HOSTNAME has been configured as above ie. the name of the machine on the local network Have you considered re-running the network configuration from Mandrake Control Centre for both your local network and your DSL setup now that you have the parameters supplied by your ISP I don't have DSL (only dial-up) and my etc/ppp/resolv.conf contains ONLY the following: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ cat /etc/ppp/resolv.conf nameserver 203.97.33.14 nameserver 203.97.37.14 [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ While /etc/resolv.conf contains: [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ cat /etc/resolv.conf search clear.net.nz localhost.localdomain nameserver 203.97.33.14 nameserver 203.97.37.14 [EMAIL PROTECTED] lists]$ All of this stuff is initially setup when you do your network settings during installation. On my system /etc/resolv.conf is changed at every use, with what appears to be the content of /etc/ppp/resolv.conf being appended with a couple of blank lines then a commented line which says something like: "# Temporary PPP," and then the content of /etc/ppp/resolv.conf. The appended part is removed when I disconnect. See if this helps any to nail it down, although I think re-running your network configuration wizards might be simpler than trying hit and miss edits to config files.

I have no idea ^^ why one wasn't created, but it should have nameserver 151.164.1.8 nameserver 206.13.28.12 ... in it. AFAIK, /etc/resolv.conf is a file generated by the binary file, /etc/resolv.conf.tmp As I said, I think you need somebody more knowlegeable about all this than me. I only thought I might be of help since I also use sbcglobal.net and they seem to do things a little differently than many other DSL ISP's. > > DEVICE=eth0 > > BOOTPROTO=static > > Back during 9.x development, Mandrake > > developers told me this didn't make sense, but now it's the > > Mandrake default, at least the fresh installs I've done > > since. > > What file is this information in? /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth?

Other than some initial problems when I first got DSL while usin 9.0, Mandrake (cooker) installs have always configured eth0 for me after I input the info during the install, and most all of the entries I leave blank, or at default. About all I enter, IIRC, is sbcglobal.net, my user ID and password. I don't start the connect at boot, and I believe that is the default. Then a rp-pppoe run of 'adsl-setup' to answer about a half dozen questions. One of which one is to enter DNS, I just type 'server' and DNS is automagically obtained from sbcglobal.net. Often after recent fresh installs (/home is saved), I don't even need to re-do a 'adsl-setup' I avoid usin Mandrake's 'drakconnect'. I believe recent Mandrake versions install rp-pppoe when you choose 'adsl' during install anyhow. -- Tom Brinkman Corpus Christi, Texas Proud to be an American Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

As someone (probly more knowledgeable than me) alluded to,
192.168.x.x is not a valid DNS. You could try my sbcglobal DNS
numbers in your resolv.conf (?) Or 'urpmi whois' and see what it
spits out for NS* numbers. Probly be a good idea to 'urpme
tmdns' or at least stop that useless trouble causing service.
Also, tho my DSL connection is dynamic, this seems to work
better:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=static
Back during 9.x development, Mandrake
developers told me this didn't make sense, but now it's the
Mandrake default, at least the fresh installs I've done since.
IPADDR=10.0.0.10
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
NETWORK=10.0.0.0
BROADCAST=10.0.0.255
ONBOOT=yes
MII_NOT_SUPPORTED=no
^ that's for a very well supported D-link 530
TX+ card. You might try setting this to =yes (which means MII
will be disabled).
I suspect you've got some LAN misconfigure(s), but I can't go
there. Never done it.

Re: [newbie] Resolver random results.
I am sorry for the delay in providing the info that was requested. I noticed sometime yesterday afternoon that my messages were not being sent but were placed in the outbox instead. I have removed and reinstalled kontact this morning and when I transfered the outbox everyting was sent in one session. More Information: I now have the primary DNS and secondary DNS addresses from my ISP. Where do I put them so they will be placed in '/etc/resolver.conf' instead of my dsl modem? -- Regards; Hoyt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Normally, (I think) you would insert the DNS numbers of your ISP's nameserver here: Which will be something like: 209.184.203.7 and 204.107.19.17 which O got from a lookup on WHOIS.

Can someone > tell me what a valid search domain would be? Hi Hoyt, Search domain means that if you're typing a non FQDN, it will append the domain name you specify in /etc/resolv.conf. For example, if you set "search mydomain.com", then when you type "mypc" in a browser, it will actually look for "mypc.mydomain.com" If you don't have a local domain, you don't need to specify the "search..." line in /etc/resolv.conf Your problem seems to be in the name server 192.168.0.1 - -- Fajar Priyanto | Reg'd Linux User #327841 | http://linux.arinet.org 18:41:52 up 10:33, Mandrake Linux release 9.2 (FiveStar) for i586 public key: https://www.arinet.org/fajar-pub.key -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.3 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFA4VY7kp5CsIXuxqURArKKAJ9FPbkV1oaZX5Cr8lfKajGbzzii5wCfY2VG TqsxuVz/J85Mn8ivuodnDvs= =S8UB -END PGP SIGNATURE- Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

Can someone tell me what a valid search domain would be? -- Regards; Hoyt Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?
