Hi there Anna. Well, the names of the domain servers your isp would like you to use to resolve domains with your ppp account go in a file called: resolv.conf As I believe it was Adam who already pointed out to you the output you mentioned in regard to kickstart orwhatever it was called are only samples for you to use as a guide. Also, the server for your email doesn't go anywhere in your resolv.conf file but rather that would go in your .fetchmailrc file instead. At the end of this message I have included my own resolv.conf file as a sample in the hope that it will be helpful, from what I know of your situation yours would need to look similar though I'm surprised that dhcp hasn't created it for you. I also did a whois lookup on drizzle.com for ya and got the names and ips for their name servers. The info is as follows: Domain servers in listed order. giantsquid.drizzle.com 216.162.192.12 acresofclams.drizzle.com 216.162.192.4 Lastly, here's my resolv.conf file so you can see its format] domain sympaticowarp.ca nameserver 142.163.127.61 nameserver 209.128.1.4 search sympaticowarp.ca Good luck and hth, furhter, might I suggest you take a look at speak freely and try to get that up and running at some point as I am sure you'd find the reflector to also be a cool place to hang out and possibly obtain assistance, though you probably already know this its address is: lwl.braille.uwo.ca:4074 Ed Barnes ebarnes at enigma2.cjb.net On Fri, 11 Oct 2002, Anna Schneider wrote: > Okay, so I'm going to try now and modify my /etc/resolv.conf.
