TIA Is your DNS set up correctly ? You can ``enable dns'' in ppp to get it to try to set things up automatically (depends on the facilities offered by your ISP). Otherwise, make sure /etc/resolv.conf has the correct entries - check the man pages. Lastly, if you're still having problems (and it's not a dns thing), try turning off tcp extensions in /etc/rc.conf - it may make things better. > Chris Browning > brownicm@netunlimited.net -- Brian , , Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour....
