Re: [SuSE Linux] Kppp connection to the Internet

[Dan Olszewski]

Another thing I forgot to mention is when I tried using netstat -r to look at my routing, it took an extremely long time to come back with my routing tables.  It turned out for every route, it was trying to look up the name and had to timeout before it looked at the next route.  traceroute acted the same way until I got a naming server that worked.

Hi,

 

When I was trying to set up ppp to my isp, when I tried to browse on the web it kept telling me that the site was not found, i.e. www.suse.de.  What it turned out to be in my case is the naming server that my isp uses does not seem to work with Linux.  Since the company I work for had a different providor, which is much larger than the one I use, I tried their naming server.   I haven't had a naming problem since.  Seems like my providor only understands MS clients.
