Dear gurus,

I'm a newbie and just managed to set up my ppp link to my server (UQ).
Problem I'm having is that I can only telnet, ftp and ping to UQ and not
anyway else. Example, I ping say sunsite and the name resolves properly to
its IP address, but all the packets that are sent don't get acknowleged. I
think it's a problem with /etc/resolv.conf but I donno how to modify it to
work properly. It looks like this now:

domain nodomain.nowhere
search student.uq.edu.au
nameserver 130.102.2.15
nameserver 130.102.128.43

Can anybody help? I would really appreciate it. There is only so much I
can do, and I'm quite happy to have made it so far by myself.

Regards,

Roy.
