Sorry if you get this message more than once - for some reason my mail is not always reaching the list.
I found the reason for the SpeedTouch problem (Christoffer Olsen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> email gave me the clue)... I had elected to install shorewall, which I already use on my gentoo box, but hadn't configured it. It starts before speedtouch and must have been blocking packets. Surely if it's not yet configured it should not do anything? I looked at mcc's shorewall configuration but couldn't understand any of it so left it alone. shorewall is much easier to configure by looking at its sample configurations and reading the docs. So I copied the contents of /etc/shorewall from my gentoo partition and rebooted into 9.0beta4 and I have internet connection! Still get the SIOCDELRT message and FAILED though.
