RE: [newbie] ppp established but...
I've been having the same problem. I don't think it's the ISP because before I reinstalled Linux (this time in expert mode, though still mostly using the defaults)this ISP worked fine. Is there something I have to setup special to get acess to the internet? My security level is set to medium, just like it used to be. I'm also not sure if I need to set up any server activity to start up as I load Linux or not (special to get internet to work, I mean). I hope that wasn't too convoluted, in any case, same problem as below. -Paul R peter.schawacker wrote: After I dial in to my ISP and establish a ppp connection, I can't do anything.

Can anyone shed some light on this dilemna? I've been using Red Hat on another machine for the last two years with no problems. Thanks. __ Do You Yahoo!? From homework help to love advice, Yahoo!

Do have your DNS set up?

Just a small suggestion for Mandrake when they get ready to ship 6.2: Install caching-nameserver by default. Start named by default. Put /etc/resolv.conf into whatever package it goes into and set it up with a simple "nameserver 127.0.0.1" That ensures that when a new user gets that first PPP connection going, they're ready to rock and roll. It really would make things easier for everyone, at least default to that for non-networked setups... us poor b*stards never even get to configure our networking essentials during installation. -- Steve Philp Network Administrator Advance Packaging Corporation [EMAIL PROTECTED]
