I am falling into the same camp here but with slightly different, but still unsatisfactory results. Until I put a domain name and nameserver IP addresses in resolv.conf I was getting the DNS error also. Once I entered the domain name and nameserver addresses into the resolv.conf I no longer get the DNS error, the status bar in Netscape states that it is trying to connect to www.foo.com, and then it just hangs there. I can't "stop" from from the tool bar and can only terminate the browser by "kill"ing the pppd process. While pppd is running I get a result from ifconfig -a showing an address both locally and at ppp0, but cannot ping anything. BTW I am getting similar behavior using a ppp-on script when trying to access a worldnet.att.net account which uses chap and the ppp-on script as specified at www.wurd.com/wurd/software/dialers/linux.html or by using xisp to get to an account I have with pacbell.net. Thanks for any advise, Eric
