[aclug-L] Re: Kppp, and hosname lookup failure

["Greg House" <ghouse@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like you didn't have your DNS entries set up. There's a tab for them
somewhere in the kppp setup, you just need to add the two for Southwind's
DNS servers (206.53.103.1 & 206.53.103.3). If you run on a local network
when you're not connected, you may need to check the box that says something
like "don't use local DNS when connected".

Sorry for the late reply, hope you got it resolved.

Greg
