Almost there

[web2905]

When I try to go on the internet from the Thank You page of Mandrake I get an error message that reads"Warning the following hosts are unknown"

home.netscape.com
home6.netscape.com
internic.net
Besices not being able to connect to the internet, what do these error messages mean and how do fix the problem???

hello,
it looks like there is no DNS setup, or it is setup incorrectly. If you have an ISP edit the file called /etc/resolve.conf and add your ISPs DNS server IP addresses.

can you ping by ip address?

what does ifconfig tell you that might be helpful?
