| 16649 | 2001-08-07 08:56:00 | Hi, all I just bought a new external modern today. I got it to connect to my ISP in Redhat with no problem. But here is the catch. Netscape seems not to recognize that there is a connection going on in the background (i am certain that i am connected, 'cause the phone is engaged). How do I get the program to recognize the connection? (i tried to connect with both wvdial and kppp, both connected) I am using a D-Link External Modem, and Redhat 7.0. |

| 16651 | 2001-08-07 10:04:00 | Hmm. Pinging failed... It said something like unknown host or something. And yes, NS did say, something like 'unknown server'. I am using Inet as my ISP, and I have no need to specify DNS in Windows 98 SE. | Guest (0) | ||
