Hi: I tried to run my old kppp (in KDE2) and during setup it complained that no /etc/resolv.conf exitsed. Sure enough I checked and it was not there. I have deleted nothing out of root and wonder why it should be missing. In creating this file, what do I need to include in it? -- Cheers, Jonathan

What I would like to know is why it was missing? Clearly you had an /etc/resolv.conf. Mine was located in /etc/ppp. Why I wonder?

Your ISP should have provided you with at least one nameserver xxx.xx.xx.xxx

Possibly, because pppd can receive a list of DNS servers as part of the link negotiation, and your favorite distribution has included in the ip-up script a routine to plug those into /etc/resolv.conf, after backing up the original. I've found that sometimes the link comes down a little less than 'cleanly', and the corresponding ip-down script doesn't get executed, so you're left with no resolv.conf at all. -- Rick Green "I have the heart of a little child, and the brain of a genius. ... and I keep them in a jar under my bed"

I sometimes lose my resolv.conf after using yast1. I finally made a copy in my home directory so I can copy it back after yast blows it away. As far as what to include, all I have in mine are my ISP's primary and secondary nameservers. Here's what it looks like: nameserver 207.217.126.81 nameserver 207.217.77.82 *************************************************** Powered by SuSE Linux 7.0 Professional KMail 1.0.29.2 Bryan S.

Thank you so much Bryan: I am here just reading and watching the BBC news over the internet. Thanks to you and the others on the list I have copied the existing resolv.conf. You have verified that it should only contain my nameserver addresses. I suspected that wvdial was not configured correctly when it actually appears to be a problem at my ISP. I get back the message NO CARRIER TONE or something to that effect (cannot remember) from failed connections. On Sunday 25 March 2001 01:25, you wrote:

<OT> How do you watch BBC? I can find only links to listen on the www.bbc.co.uk. I really miss BBC on TV here in California. It was so simple in Europe, just a sattelite dish... -Kastus On Sun, Mar 25, 2001 at 01:44:48AM -0600, Jonathan Drews wrote:

I downloaded Real Player 8 for Linux form http://www.real.com. Then go to http://www.bbc.co.uk and click on any of the video cam icons. Also, since Konqueror has Flash, you can go to the site: http://www.bbc.co.uk/dinosaurs/dino_worlds/index_week6.shtml and interactively view videos of Dinosaurs. It is really cool.Flash denotes the geologic epochs by reassembling the continents into one land mass. It's a really cool site and very large. I believe it is an adaptation from The Discovery Channels "walking with dinosaurs". -- Cheers, Jonathan
Thanks Jonathan, now I got it. I also tried to make mozilla work with flash and real, but to no avail. Netscape works good with these plugins. -Kastus On Sun, Mar 25, 2001 at 02:13:58AM -0600, Jonathan Drews wrote:
