PPP DNS Problem: Corrected!

[John Shepherd <jshep@yahoo.com>]

All,

       Thanks to all who responded to my question
yesterday about my PPP setup.
       I corrected the problem last night.  The
problem was one of three things.  Since my debian
installation is so new that I have no personal
data or customized settings, I just ran through
the initial installation again.  The things I
changed were:

.  I previously listed my machine's local network
IP address (192.168.1.1) as the "gateway address"
when setting up the network.  I left gateway
address blank this time.

.  Without understanding what I was doing, I made
up a domain name and included that in my previous
network setting.  I left domain name blank this
time.

.  I may or may not have set up DNS server during
the initial "Configure Debian" (simple method)
process.  I did not setup DNS network this time.


     While I'm not sure which of these was the
problem, I'm very happy that it is all working
correctly now.


Thanks again,
John
