gui = graphical user interface..

look under the control panel area, anything about your dialup connection settings.

Mara, what do you mean when you said 'route' ?

'route' is a command showing your current routing table - in simple words: where to send each packet. The most important thing is to have your dialup interface (ppp) set as deault gateway (all packets that don't fit previous rules - usually local network- go throught it). Open a terminal, type 'su', then your root passowrd. When it's done, type
route
and copy the result.

So, lets get the configs
/etc/resolv.conf contains
search localdomain
nameserver isp.dns.ip.addy
nameserver isp.dns.ip.addy1
now /etc/host.conf contains these lines
order hosts, bind
multi on
If you can't resolve names that means the DNS information isn't available or configured improperly. Try gives us some hints on the above mentioned files.

bash: route: command not found

nameserver 203.172.11.21 #kppp temp entry
nameserver 203.172.11.25 #kppp temp entry

order hosts, bind

well thats just about those files..

btw i only got 1 comp.

so what should i do now?
should i edit those files to be like you posted?

No, they look OK.

I forgot to write one thing about route. You need to be root to use this commend. So, run
su
(enter root password when asked)
route
