Hello again Chad n everyone helping me:
Thanks. this is the ifconfig after i connected to my isp (radiks)
in the line after RX there is one error that is not in your line and i didn't see it before but it may
have been there .
My ping is still giving me only one line it's written below
My distribution again is Red Hat 6 from a disk i got with the book Linux Unleashed.
when i enter the command rpm -q bind it tells me bind is not installed
i get the same ping result no matter if i use the number after P-t-P or anyother number
i changed the /etc/resolv.conf to read "search radiks.net"
did not help
$ ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback
inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0
UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1
RX packtet:76 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0

UP POINTOOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:12 errors:1 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:1
TX packets:24 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
this is the return from ping -n 208.154.157.200
PING 208.154.157.200 (208.154.157.200): 56 data bytes
even if i wait 10 minutes this is all i get
thanks again,
Nate
