when i try to connect to the internet from redhat8.0 personal edition,
i can connect but nothing happens after that. my resolv.conf has
nameservers. however,when i checked the var/log/message, i found the
following error
" modprobe : can not locate ppp-compress-21" . i tried the command
modporbe ppp-comprss-21, but it did not work. so where can i find this
module and how can i install it?
thanks

(What do you mean by "connect" if nothing works? How do you know that the
nameservers are correct?)

This is the "bsd_comp" module. If you have it, then modprobe(8) should
find it; perhaps you need a line "alias ppp-compress-21 bsd_comp" in
/etc/modules.conf . However, this is unlikely to be the cause of your
networking problem. A ppp connection should work even if this optional
compression is not available.
