Hi,
A few days ago I got RH5.1 and I had the Internet working fine on that.
All I done was use linuxconf to set up and activate the PPP connection
and all worked fine.
Well yesterday I got RH5.2 installed (clean install) and when I tried
the same thing and tried to surf the web I got errors about DNS and
stuff.  Any ideas?  As far as I can see I done exactly the same thing.

Never mind, just figured out that I had to manually enter the DNS
servers.
