i've tried for days now and i still can't get ppp (dynamic ip) to
work.

i've set 
1) resolv.conf
2) ppp.conf
3) ppp.linkup

and i do get a successful login using the ppp.conf script.

"ppp ON xxxx > Packet mode"

but telnet/ftp etc returns "no route to host" or "name lookup failed"

i need to switch back to win95 to get on the net again.

can someone, please help?
