I connect with a modem using the "ppp" program. So, it switches to packet mode, and everything looks fine, but i constantly get "no route to host" message. And when i enter an alphanumeric address i get "Host name lookup failure" inspite of setting the nameserver entry in resolv.conf. As it is apparent, i am not really exeperienced in setting Unix networking options. To shorten my troubles be so kind and tell me what to set or how to locate the problem. P.S. My ISP allow guest access, and everything performed fine under windows.
