RE: Internet Access

["biscut" <biscut biscut screaming net>]

Another thing to bare in mind is that some ISP's need you to enter in their
DNS address which might be the reason why you can connect fine but cant surf
the internet...I am with Screaming.net and i need to enter in their DNS
server address before I can surf the WWW. There is a site located at

http://www.dkhostmaster.dk

which you might be able to use them to find out what your ISP DNS settings
are, failing that, give their tech support a quick call and ask them :-)

Just a thought as I used to have exactly the same symptoms till I put the
DNS info into the KPPP dialer.
