Hi, Well I'm a bit of a newbie myself so I'm no expert but I've recently configured my ppp connection and It sounds like you haven't configured any entries for your domain name server (hence netscape cannot find any url addressed). What you need to do is create a file /etc/resolv.conf with the dns entries specified as follows;- nameserver 158.43.240.4 nameserver 158.43.240.3 please note, these are _my_ isp dns entries, please use your own providers dns entries. Hope it helps, sorry if it doesn't but I followed the FreeBSD handbook and I got it working ok.
