    Hello All

    Seems I started quite a stir with my messed up Inet
    connections.

    What I really was asking when I asked about
    resolv.conf was what should I have done on my own to
    find that the problem was resolv.conf related?

    Even with the help of Carlos to find it in the SuSE
    Adminisration Guide was a step by step search to find
    it in the TOC - for it is not referenced in the index.
     At time time I had the problem I did not even know
    that is what was missing until another lister told me
    to look for it in /etc. I found it in /etc/ppp.
    Carlos then fully explained how it is created,
    compared, saved ... not saved, lost etc... Egad! So
    much to learn...

    Thanks all for the help... In the future if I have an
    unexpected loss of Inet connection I know where to
    look. (How many other such hings will I yet
    encounter? It should be a grand adventure.)
