Is resolv.conf essential?

2003-12-05 Thread Anthony Campbell
According to the man page for resolv.conf it is not supposed to be necesssary on a properly configured system. However I can't connect to my dialup ISP without it. This creates problems when I use a different ISP. What needs to be configured to make it unnecessary? Anthony -- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
