Just got modem setup and kppp working but when I run it I am not able to
get to anything (netscape, etc) but it still says I am connected.  I
have heard that it has something to do with my nameservers, which should
be setup in resolv.conf.  When I am connected all I see in that file is:

nameserver=YAST_ASK

and it then says that if I want to change other preference I should do
it in rc.config which is full of stuff, including three important
looking vaiables: NAMESERVER, SEARCHLIST and a bool to indicate if I
want resolv.conf to be created.  Excuse my ignorance, but what is a
nameserver and why would I need to setup one?  any and all help will be
greatly appreciatted.  By the way, Actiontec is selling a PCI internal
modem that works with Linux.  99.


Thanks.
