Have you tried invoking ppp in -auto mode? On my machine, if I invoke ppp in terminal mode I get the same message, but do not in -auto. I'm not sure it's a problem, but does not seem to affect my ability to connect. It works for me, and as a result have not bothered to investigate further; someone else may have a better answer. > Secondly, I am trying to use netscape to get onto the net, and when I launch > it I get the following errors :- > > Netscape is unable to locate the server home.netscape.com > the server does not have a DNS entry > > Warning : the following hosts are unknown :- > > myname.my.domain > home.netscape.com > home6.netscape.com > internic.net [snip] Have you invoked ppp before running netscape? I always get that message if ppp is not running first. -- E=m*(c*c) Ken Keeler "Look, it's all a bunch of ones and zeros."
