Re: ppp dns name lookup

["Jose M. Sanchez" <opjose ex-pressnet com>]

Before you do anything else, ping a valid IP address...

Try

"ping 168.143.0.3"

If this works, you are talking to the ISP and you have TCP/IP - PPP
correctly set up...
... you just forgot to assign a DNS server for your machine to use.

Once you have DNS correctly configured you should be able to do something
like...

"nslookup www.netscape.com"

which should return a number...
