I am using eznet under RH9 to dial Road Runner. Last week, I could dial in
and was able to access web pages, IRC, and email. Now, I can successfully
dial in, and I can ping IP address, but DNS lookups fail. Can anyone point
me to a possible solution? I do have a reslov.conf with the same namesever
information as my desktop, which connects through cable modem.

Any and all help appreciated.

Can you ping the nameserver address?

The truth you speak has no past and no future. It is, and that's all it
needs to be.

An update...
I'm using Fedora Core 1, not RH9, and I have found some issues that have
resolved my problem...

The DHCP-client script was overwriting the /etc/resolv.conf script. The
/etc/ppp/resolv.conf script was not overwritten, but it was also not read.
I have put usednspeers into /etc/ppp/options, and them manually edit
/etc/resolv.conf when I want to use dialup, and let DHCP overwrite it when
I use ethernet. This does seem to be something of a kludge. If anyone know
how to do it better, please let me know.

Any and all help appreciated.
