DIAL-UP Configuration
 

Hi, I run Slackware 9.1 and have a PCI 536EP V.92 56K Modem... I managed to install it and install it right ( so it seems ) cause when I dial... i get the specific sounds wich it makes when it connects, and the connection goes into Tray bar ( I'm using KPPP dialer running X KDE ). It shows me those green and red lights and shows me that bytes are coming in and going out. But when I try to view or ping a page ( e.g. yahoo.com ) I get no answer. Do I have to put something special in the /etc/resolv.conf file or anywhere else ? How should I configure my network ( using netconfig ) I mean I have a dial-up connection at an ISP wich the IP changes at my every connection ( it always starts with 213.233 but it ends in something else everytime I reconnect ). If someone understands my problem or doesn't understand quite right and it's willing to help me... please post back a answer/question so I can get connected... finnaly... :)

Thank you very much all you wich will help me. Cheers.

you could either use pppsetup, or add the following line to your /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn

where the nnn bits are the DNS server of your isp.

ps. there is a post here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...hreadid=144479
that explains all of it.

What does your resolv.conf have in it?

Re: DIAL-UP Configuration
 

Yes, your /etc/resolve.config file should have the IP address of the DNS servers from your ISP. Your ISP should be able to give you the numbers of their Primary DNS, Secondary, and Tertiary (if applicable). You might be bale to get them from their web-site also. Write them down in the file in order (top to bottom) and you should be ok.

I got the namservers from my ISP and put them in the /etc/resolv.conf file as:

<quote>
nameserver 193.230.161.3
nameserver 193.230.161.4
</quote>

Should I add a line like: "search myISP.ro" or it doesn't really matter.

By the way, is InetD, BIND, etc. or any other specific daemon needs to be started and configured in anyway to make Dial-Up work ?
Can someone please give exact directions. Thanks in advance. Cheers.
