You need to use the script 'pppconfig' to setup the configuration for your dial-up connection. The networking questions you saw were for, as you thought, a direct network connection. You _do_ need some information about MSN to be able to successfully connect through them: * Your username and password * Their DNS servers -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Phil Brutsche [EMAIL PROTECTED] "There are two things that are infinite; Human stupidity and the universe.
