I have a Mandrake 8, installed on my PC. I use KPPP to connect to the net. I havent had any problems connecting to the net. but when i try to browse the net i could not. what could be wrong?
I tried pinging to the ISP and some sites like yahoo, with www.yahoo.com but it just said "unkown host: www.yahoo.com". I then tried pinging the local and remote machine with the IPs i got frm the tail command, and it gave me the result.
Pls guide me what could be wrong and what i should do?

Probably your DNS is not set. Your /etc/resolv.conf should look something like this -
nameserver 202.68.128.66 nameserver 202.68.128.67
- those are the primary and secondary DNS servers.
See if you can get it to work with this. Please be specific on what you mean by ``browsing the net''. There are several ways to do that.

With the new pppd (2.4), the file is now in /etc/ppp/resolve.conf. And instead of manually adding domain name server addresses, it is better to use the option "usepeerdns" when invoking pppd. This works with VSNL, and Dishnet. Should be working with other ISPs too.
