Yes most likely.....you have to set you DNS nameserver in the "/etc/resolv.conf" file entry that looks like. nameserver 204.20.23.205 nameserver 204.20.23.206 ( If you have more that one DNS server for you ISP, Your ISP should have this info ) also is your computer on a network ? does it have a default route ? wvdial add a default route to the routing table. but it does not remove the first default route. You might wan't to set the first default route up with an diff metric, say of 1. and wvdial will set it's default with metric of 0 " ( 0 has priority ) > > -- > To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > with a subject of "unsubscribe".
