I was trying to configure my DSL connection last
night w/ mixed success.  I am using the Earthlink
service w/ an external modem attached to an
ethernet card.  I followed the instructions in the
"Network" manual, & everything seemed to work
OK.  However, I can't get to any web site (I tried
konqueror, netscape & mozilla).

What I am curious about is that the manual says
you need to have a "placeholder"  IP address for
your host machine and a nameserver.  It even
suggests some addresses to use.  Which I did.
When I look in resolv.conf, this "placeholder" IP
address is in there.  Is it actually trying to use 
this to resolve names/Ips?  I'm confused.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

TIA,

Mike
