Well I tried to do that but it was useless!!!!! With what
format do I have
to enter the DNS directions inside that file? Does it has any special format? Thanks!!!!
It starts with you search domain (usually just your ISP's domain) for example, it you were joeuser@aol.com, you would have 'search aol.com' (without the quotes) as the first line.
After that come one of more nameserver lines, this is where you enter the primary and secondary DNS server addresses that you got from Windows earlier. They are made up like this: 'nameserver
'. The whole thing should look something like:
search aol.com nameserver 205.188.146.23 nameserver 205.188.160.121

Right, the file you should be looking at is /etc/resolv.conf. This is where all your DNS is set up (since you can connect fine and access things by IP, it is almost certainly DNS problems).
Find out the IP addresses of your ISPs DNS servers and put them in /etc/resolv.conf. If you know them, that's fine. If you don't, you can use your Windows machines to find out (assuming you connect to the same ISP on all of the computers). In Windows, *while connected to your ISP*, click 'Start', then 'Run...' and type 'winipcfg' (without the quotes). This will pop up a window telling you about your IP status. Select the 'Dial Up Adapter' or something similar from the drop-down list box and this will display info about your Internet connection. Look for the lines that say 'Primary DNS' and 'Secondary DNS' and write the IP numbers down (if you can't see those entries, you may have press the 'More...' or 'Advanced' button to see them, I can't remember which it is).
Now all you need to do is reboot into Linux and place these numbers in your /etc/resolv.conf file. Next time you dial up all should be fine.

IŽve tried out what you said, let me clarify the things a
Win98 machines I donŽt have problems to access the internet because they use their own modems. The problem is with the Linux Machine!!!! Well the results were that I can get to the altavista page througt its ip
bit. From the direction, but when
I try with www.alta..... it fails, as you mention there must be a DNS problem, when I ping to the IP direction it answers back but with www.alta... it fails. Do you have any idea how can this be solved or where to read from? Thanks!!!!
Does the Linux box have its own modem as well? Or are you trying to connect through the windows machines?
Hope that helps some more, Chris -- Apologies to everyone who has been waiting for replies off me over the past few weeks - I've been away from my computer.
