Problems with dial up connection

[weilermann]

I have problems with setting up the dial up connection. I tried (and did)
set up a new connection, but when i start kppp i get the mess : /etc/rersolv.conf is missing or cant be read!

I think the most improtant for me at this moment is to get internet connection, cause it seams to be not very convinient to switch between windows and Kubuntu allways when i need to check smth and i could also post the required informations immidiately.

Re: Problems with dial up connection

I guess there aren't many modem users around anymore...

Just to clarify, is the error message exactly:

 /etc/rersolv.conf is missing or cant be read

I assume it's looking for /etc/resolv.conf, is that a typo on your part?

Re: Problems with dial up connection

So , the exact message is>

/etc/resolv.conf is missing or can't be read!
Ask your system adm to create this file (can be empty) with read and write permissions

And sorry for additional r

Its not easy to be one of few, but if u can help me...

Thanks a lot

I have this exact problem, too. I'm using a creative modem blaster (V.96 External). I hope this adds enough pressure for someone to come up with a solution.

Re: Problems with dial up connection

Try running the command

sudo touch /etc/resolv.conf

then try connecting again.

Did the touch command give any errors? What does

locate resolv.conf

spit out?

Re: Problems with dial up connection

came up with . locate: warning: database /var/lib/slocate.db' is more than 8 days old/usr/share/man5/resolv.conf.5.gz make any sense alan

Re: Problems with dial up connection

That means that you database it more than 8 days old, not a big problem.
You could try asking your ISP what their DNS server IP addresses are and enter them in to that file in the format "nameserver IP.Address", eg:

nameserver 100.200.100.200
nameserver 110.210.110.210
nameserver 101.201.101.201

Replacing it with the real IP addresses.
