running lynx

["Simmons-Davis" <simmonsdavis@frontier.net>]

Dear Debian Group,

I am unable to run lynx on the Debian 2.2r2 system I recently installed.
After I run "wvdial", connect to my ISP, hit "cntrl z" and then type the
command "lynx" at the command prompt (all as root) I get the following
errors (I have also set http://www.debian.org as my start page for lynx
during the initial configuration, is it incorrect to have a remote host as
my startpage?):

debian:~# lynx

Looking up www.debian.org
Unable to locate remote host www.debian.org.
Alert!: Unable to connect to remote host.

lynx: Can't access startfile http://www.debian.org/
debian:~#

Please advise me as to how to get lynx working. Thank you very much for your
time and energy.

Thank you,
Ry
