Hello all,

I'm currently trying to configure Roaring Penguins PPPoE client for YDL. I
use Verizon DSL (By force, I have ill-feelings towards Verizon. How do you
like that restraint from obscenities?).

I ran the ADSL-SETUP and configured it as the program requests. I'm
actually able to Connect running the ADSL-START. For some reason, I can't
use any DNS functions. I cannot ping, I cannot do a nslookup, ftp, or
anything of the sort.

The Odd thing about Verizons setup thatıs confusing me is that they give you
the following to set up your TCP/IP around:
    -IP address
    -Gateway
    -DSN Server
    -Search Domain

Then you run the PPPoE Client and it uses this to gain the real address from
their server. I really hate PPPoE. Get cable, and avoid DSL. I have
configured my eth0 through "netconfig" to the settings that Verizon has
given me, and also set up the "ADSL-SETUP" giving the correct information.
So why can't it access the DNS? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!

Kindest Regards,
Daniel Costello
