Have you checked that you have a correct 'homepage' entry in Netscape, I found that problem after one of my installs. Also check if you have proxys enabled, could be in there too.

most often you will need to correctly set your ISP's DNS Server in whatever program you use to dial-in - Original Message - From: "DRX" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2001 5:33 AM Subject: [newbie] Disappeared Internet access The modem beeps the way it's supposed to, and the little window tells me that it is connecting me to the Internet, but when it is finished I can't get to anywhere in Netscape.

I have seen it stick a temporary address in there, instead of the ISP name server and hold on to it if you had a bad shutdown or forgot to shut down the modem before shutting down the system. If it shows two or three temporary xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx addresses change them back to your ISP dial up addresses and then try connecting. Luck, -- Dennis M. registered linux user # 180842
