Subject: Please Help with internet connection...
Unfortunetly this did not work. I went in and
commented out the search localdomain. Then put in the
dns of my ISP, earthlink. I ran it again, with no
luck, then looked at the file again. This time it
looked like this:

# search localdomain     #entry disabled by kppp
search localdomain 


# nameserver 209.244.0.3    #kppp temp entry
# nameserver 209.244.0.3 # ppp temp entry
# nameserver 209.244.0.4    #kppp temp entry
# nameserver 209.244.0.4 # ppp temp entry
nameserver 207.217.77.82
nameserver 207.217.120.83
nameserver 209.244.0.3


# domain earthlink.net         #kppp temp entry


# ppp temp entry

I have no idea where the 209.244.0.3 came from, but
the two starting with 207. are the dns of earthlink.
I can not do a nslookup because the only computer I
have access to that command is the one I am having a
problem with.


Any ideas of what else to try?
