Unknown server error, Network in unreachable, = Network not configured
correctly.

(4). Software Recomendations...
(1)...Files to be concerned with, /etc/HOSTNAME, hosts, resolv.conf.
There,s a shell script, called netconfig.
~/# netconfig <If you installed it..?)
If not...
~/# vi /etc/HOSTNAME

your network, your computer, (darkstar)
and your ISP, service providers name, (ios.com)>

address. Your sevice provider
assigns you one, either static-
ly, it's the same everytime, or
dynamicly, it,s different every-
time.>

If connected, then... darkstar~/# lynx, ftp, telnet, etc...
darkstar~/# dip -k <-To kill dip...)
/var/spool/uucp/LCK..cua1
Every time dip, is run, it creates lock files, /usr/spool/uucp/LCK..cua1,
/etc/dip.pid, if you kill dip properly, or reboot, these should be
removed, otherwise you can't use dip, until you remove them.
(Sample dip script...)
