Hi all, with your help, your suggest, the manual and so on I am able to dial my ISP and I have installed netscape. Now I have another problem, I hope you know the solutions. If I ask for an address like 194.29.8.13 I get the page, but if I put www.service.com netscape tell me that is unable to locate the server........... I don't understand why........ thanks for all in advance. Roberto -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

I assume you have name servers defined in you /etc/rc.config file, correct ? -Dee W.D.McKinney (Dee) -=- deem@wdm.com No claim to fame, just saved by Grace. -- To get out of this list, please send email to majordomo@suse.com with this text in its body: unsubscribe suse-linux-e

Thanks Dee, I have checked on rc.config file, I have founf many of name server, I don't understand which is the name server I have to put in some field, my name server or the ISP name server? If I change the rc.config file to get the modifications I have to reboot the system or the modification have effect immediately?? Another question, the look of the netscape under Unix is correct that is black and gray or there are something I have to do to change the color?? I wait your answer, in the meaning I try to change the configuration of the rc.config..........

Here's my section for an example: # # domain searchlist that should be used in /etc/resolv.conf # (e.g. "suse.de linux.de uni-stuttgart.de") # Attention! this has to be filled out, if you want to access a name server # SEARCHLIST="iliamna.gci.net spurr.gci.net" <-- These are the nameservers of my ISP. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ # # space separated list of nameservers that should be used for /etc/resolv.conf # give a maximum of 3 IP numbers # (e.g. "192.168.116.11 192.168.7.7") # NAMESERVER="208.138.130.16 206.96.62.16" <-- These are the IP addresses of the nameservers of my ISP. ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^^^ These need defining on your system as well.

I personally believe that YaST setups up your network quite easily, without manually editing the various files in /etc or /sbin. The only time I really go into those files is to see what settings are stored there. It helps me a little when I work with Caldera or Slackware to look at these files. I am also assuming that you've tried YaST and it didn't work for you.
