When I was trying to set up ppp to my isp, when I tried t= o=20 browse on the web it kept telling me that the site was not found, i.e. www.suse.de.

Since the company I work for had a different providor, which is=20 much larger than the one I use, I tried their naming server. I=20 haven't had a naming problem since. Seems like my providor only=20 understands MS clients.

Another thing I forgot to mention is when= I=20 tried using netstat -r to look at my routing, it took an extremely long time = to=20 come back with my routing tables. It turned out for every route, it was=20 trying to look up the name and had to timeout before it looked at the next=20 route. traceroute acted the same way until I got a naming server that=20 worked.
