you need to add the ip addresses for the DNS servers from your internet provider to the resolve.conf file.

you ping like this

Code Sample

ping 127.0.0.1

, this is the loopback. You can change the IP to the DNS IP after you get resolve changed.

Thank you larkl... its pretty late here (Australia) so i'll try this tomorrow and get back.

Regards.

Hello larkl... I have established that my DNS IP is 203.220.183.31 I have typed (as sudo su)that into /etc/resolv.conf as the first address after the the two rem statements but I still cannot connect. If I ping it it tells me that it has been sent and received so I figure that I must be connected and that the address must exist. However Firefox will still not log onto any pages I type in.

I'm doing something wrong somewhere methinks?

what did you ping? Did you ping the DNS IP? Do you have just the IP listed in resolv.conf, or is it properly written "nameserver 203.220.183.31"?

Did you try "route -n" again to see if ppp0 is set up as a gateway?

Hello mikshaw... it is properly entered as "Nameserver 203.220.183.31" and the ppp0 only shows the 5 headings and no other information. You'll need to be a bit patient with me here... assuming something is missing from route how do i repair it and what should it look like?
