It's possible that a domain name search isn't including localhost. To prove this, start your browser and connect to http://64.28.67.150 If this works, DNS isn't.
I added the line "search localhost" to my /etc/resolv.conf. The problem is that pppd rewrites this file each time a connection's made & your ISP provides DNS servers (Very Likely). This rewrite erases the "search" directive.
By modifying the script /etc/ppp/ip-up.d/0dns-up this change becomes permanent.
if [ "$USEPEERDNS" ] &&
[ "$DNS1" ] ; then
echo -e "search
localhost" >> $TEMPRESOLV <-- new line
echo -e "\nnameserver
$DNS1" >> $TEMPRESOLV <-- modified to use ">>" from ">"
if [ "$DNS2" ]
; then
echo -e "\nnameserver $DNS2" >> $TEMPRESOLV

Hi! at home I am runnin woody, and use pon to connect to my ISP. Now I have a problem: I cannot connect to my ISP. Something is going worng when the connection is established, but I don't know what. The problem is the same if I use PAP or CHAT to talk to the ISP. Now the funny thing: If I use Windows (with the same telephone line) the connection goes fine. Any help will be very welcome!! TIA
