hi,

i have redhat 9.0 and i cannot retrieve any page from the internet. i am using a dial up connection through ppp.

the problem is that while i am using mandrake 9.1, my internet connection is so smooth.

the configurations for both redhat and mandrake are the same. what seems to be the problem iin my redhat?

Are your ISPs DNS numbers in your /etc/resolv.conf file? My file for an example:

Code:

domain infoave.net
nameserver 206.74.254.2
nameserver 204.116.57.2
