Yes. I can ping IP addresses by number but not by name.
/etc/resolv.conf didn't exist.
So I got a copy from a working installation of SuSE.
Apart from commented lines, this is all that it contained:
nameserver YAST_ASK
/etc/rc.config contained the following lines (as well as a lot more):
CREATE_RESOLVCONF=yes
NAMESERVER="YAST_ASK"
Copying these two files and restarting wvdial didn't fix the problem.
