However I have a ton of problems which, if I can get some help with, are very confusing to me. If I dial in to my present ISP which gives me static IP, how do I get mail to come to me directly without having to use either fetchmail or rebooting to windows or telneting to shell account? The internic is pointing at my ISP's nameserver correctly. In /stand/sysinstall, in the network setup, I put for host: cybertouch.com domain: cybertouch.com gateway: their gateway (209.47.145.1) nameserver: their nameserver (209.47.145.2) and for IP address: I used my static 209.47.145.231 In /etc/resolv.conf the settings are cybertouch.com 209.47.145.231 cybertouch and in hosts it is my isp's nameserver with cybertouch named there. I have not installed bind. I was not sure if I needed to. When connected to IRC and preforming a /whois it returns beef@cybertouch.org which is what I want. But in mail, it seems like mail does not come back to me. Your help is much appreciated. This will bring me closer to getting my ISP back on the road.
