Using same /etc/hosts file and /etc/ppp/options as with 2.0 I can not even ping machines not listed in the first one (/etc/hosts). Attempting to get others couse: uknown host <hostname> /etc/hosts containes 3 dns references (dns and dns1 -- same machine, dns2, dns3) I was suggested to create resolve.conf, where I repeat 'nameserver' information. I played with /etc/host.conf -- changing 'bind' and 'hosts', witrh no success. Any ideas? Thank you! -mi -- The following two lines are NOT related to each other!
