Apparently my ISP had trouble this week end, and they said their DNS server had up and down periods. It is strange coincidence however I had the problem each time I plugged the other computer. Actually I used the "route" command to check what default route was used, and the ISP server name was correctly used on ppp0, whereas eth0 route was correctly using the attributed adress to the network machine. Anyway, it is probably good to add an option for it, but consider that it may work correctly now. I'll try it again and check with "route" in case of new problems. After RTFM, I feel more confident with networking now :) Cheers Eric
