SUSE 8 problem solve summary Problem getting host not found errors 1. check you have the following file /etc/resolv.conf you can use ls /etc/resolv.conf this file should contain nameserver ip address nameserver ip address where ip address will be provided by your isp in the case of uklinux.net 80.84.72.20 80.84.64.20 the permissions on the file should be -rw-r--r-- or 644 so chmod 644 /etc/resolv.conf typing dir /etc/resolv.conf will list the files along with the -rw-r--r-- permissions so you can check this is ok. you don't need to be logged in as root for this, you should use su then get root that way AFAIK this is better practice. that should fix this part, it's worth making sure that your dialier program is configured correctly, so it's worth double checking. in kppp under you account properties, DNS is set to manual and both the 2 above ip's are in the box, also under ip this is set to dynamic, and blank, as opposed to static where you set it your self, so check this, as one of my probs was that it was set to static and blank and I got problems, Hope this helps, other members, perhaps, this can be included on the lug site as the hints section needs more stuff.
