Seems like a DNS problem to me. One way to solve this is to write manually a resolv.conf that contains the proper nameserver lines, i.e. nameserver 1.2.3.4 where 1.2.3.4 is your ISP's nameserver IP address. I think that both ppp and pppd have an option to "enable dns", but I haven't used it much lately. I'm sure the relevant manpages are more up to date on this one than my memory. -- Giorgos Keramidas, < keramida @ ceid . upatras . gr > For my public PGP key: finger keramida@diogenis.ceid.upatras.gr PGP fingerprint, phone and address in the headers of this message.
