I am trying to establish a PPP connection so I can use my netscape broswer. Using the PPP program that came with my distribution (FreeBSD 2.2), I establish a connection (I assume the connection is established because the ppp turns from lower case into upper case ppp -> PPP and I am assigned an IP address). I then load netscape. Every time I type in a URL I get the message "Server doesn't have a DNS entry . . ." so I know it is not connecting to the internet. Then after about 5 minutes the connection breaks and the error log says "Too many packets lost". I know using netscape with Windows that I had to use an internet socket program "Winsock" and was wondering do I need something like this for UNIX? Or else is there something I'm doing wrong or forgot to do? Any comments or suggestions would be appriciated. Thank you, Brian bef126@psu.edu
