Also having trouble with wvdial the program connects , the pppd daemon starts but i cnat surf i get a dns error in the browser

You don't seem to have put in the nameserver IP(s) in /etc/resolv.conf

If you use windows, then connect to your ISP and give the command `ipconfig /all | more'

Just copy the lines that look like the following (found at the top)

--Example Ouptut from my machine, yours will vary--

Windows 98 IP Configuration

Host Name . . . . . . . . . : KOOL DNS Servers . . . . . . . . : 202.54.4.1 203.197.12.30 Node Type . . . . . . . . . : Broadcast NetBIOS Scope ID. . . . . . : IP Routing Enabled. . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . : No NetBIOS Resolution Uses DNS : No

--output truncated--

The IP shown as the "DNS Servers" entry are the ones you need.

Just add the following lines in your /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx nameserver xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

The "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" are the IPs obtained from `ipconfig'
