Ok, so you should have /etc/resolv.conf setup something like this:

domainname cloud9.net
nameserver 168.100.1.2
nameserver 168.100.1.3

Your /etc/hosts is probably something like

localhost 127.0.0.1
loopback  127.0.0.1      cloud9.net
server    168.100.1.121  cloud9.net

Forgive me if these are not exactly right. I don't have access to my
Linux box at the moment. What does your dip script look like? It would
be helpful to see that...

Well I guess there are either not that many linux users using dial in slip,
nobody cares about anyone else since their's are running fine. Or I was not
specific enough in my last 5 posts. One more time, I have Linux running fine.
However I can not get it to connect with my provider. I am able to dial my
provider, enter all passwords ans switch into CSLIP mode. However if I try to
ping anything I get network unreachable. Here is all my pertinent information
if someone could lay it all out for me I would be in your debt.

Remote Host:

cloud9.net

annex: 168.100.1.121

Local

IP: 168.100.200.98

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

DNS1: 168.100.1.2
DNS2: 168.100.1.3

My system is only configured for Local Loopback.

Could some tell me what my configuration files should look like so that I can
finally get up on the net with Linux instead of Win95. I would love to learn
Unix but this seems to be my stumbling block. I was able to set up X windows
which I thought would be tougher. Again Thanx in advance, I AM REALLY
DESPERATE TO GET THIS GOING!!!!!!!
