Denis, 1) Are you able to ping other hosts? Try "ping www.netscape.com" If this works there is something screwed up in the netscape configuration. Success here means that you can resolve IP addresses from hostnames and send and receive packets to and from remote hosts. I don't fully understand what your error is. Are you able to browse? Is this just a startup error? If its just a startup error then you probably need to change your default homepage. This is under EDIT | PREFERENCES. 2) If "ping www.netscape.com" doesn't work, try "ping 207.200.73.73" (this is the IP address I got from the above ping) If this works but step one doesn't work you are not hitting a DNS server. I believe that S.u.S.E has you set that up in YAST. If you don't know the IP address of your DNS server contact you ISP. 3) If you cannot ping an IP address, run "ifconfig". You should get an output something like the following: (In the ppp0 section be sure there is an inet addr that makes sense.) lo Link encap:Local Loopback <BR> inet addr:127.0.0.1 Bcast:127.255.255.255 Mask:255.0.0.0 <BR> UP BROADCAST LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3584 Metric:1 <BR> RX packets:1135 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 <BR> TX packets:1135 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-Point Protocol <BR> inet addr:206.133.1.34 P-t-P:206.133.1.3 Mask:255.255.255.0 <BR> UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING MTU:1500 Metric:1 <BR> RX packets:30601 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 <BR> TX packets:26801 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 4) Also run route. This will tell you if you have a router configured. Mine looks like this: /root# route <BR>Kernel IP routing table <BR>Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface <BR>sdn-ts-001dcwas * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 <BR>loopback * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 4 lo <BR>default sdn-ts-001dcwas 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 25 ppp0 When I first set up S.u.S.E. I had a problem getting my default router because I was not using the correct switch on the pppd command. (I was connecting by hand.) I recommend that you do connect by hand using minicom if you are having trouble either getting an IP address or default router. There is a How To on this. I think it has PPP in the title. The man pages may help. <BR> Here is my chat.ppp file. /etc/ppp# cat ppp.chat <BR>""ATZ <BR>OK ATDT2028285300 <BR>ABORT "NO CARRIER" <BR>ABORT BUSY <BR>ABORT "NO DIALTONE" <BR>ABORT ERROR <BR>CONNECT "" <BR>sername: TgFD7LL <BR>ssword: <BR>dcwash ppp And my ppp-up script /etc/ppp# cat ppp-up <BR>#!/bin/sh <BR># <BR># /etc/ppp/ppp-up <BR># <BR># Aufbau einer PPP Verbindung <BR># <BR>localip=0.0.0.0 <BR>remoteip= <BR>device=/dev/modem <BR>pppflags="38400 modem debug defaultroute" <BR>/usr/sbin/pppd lock connect \ <BR> '/usr/sbin/chat -v -f /etc/ppp/ppp.chat' \ <BR> $device $pppflags $localip:$remoteip <BR> If you run pppd by hand and need to get you defaultrouter from your ISP be sure to use the "defaultroute" on pppd. My "options" file only has the one work "lock" in it. <BR> Let me know if you have any more questions. I am kind of at a disadvantage without more detail. If I told you a bunch of stuff you already knew I apologize. Steve denis miller wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE>i have installed 4.04 but i think i missed something.
