Re: ppp connection OK, but can't access web or ssh

Hi Jarek,

I can ping both the primary and secondary DNS machines, and the
two machines having IP addresses shown above in the IP routing table.

Can you ping by name?

I don't know the names of those machines, only the numerical IP
addresses.

ssh remote.maths.uq.edu.au
ssh: remote.maths.uq.edu.au: Temporary failure in name resolution
telnet altix16.hpcu.uq.edu.au
altix16.hpcu.uq.edu.au/telnet: Temporary failure in name resolution

So maybe DNS is missing? Do you have any nameserver entries in
/etc/resolv.conf?

/etc/resolv.conf is empty. What should be in there?

cheers
steve
