I also had this problem when I first installed sarge; in that case it was fixed by reconfiguring exim4 (dpkg-reconfigure exim4) . I can't for the life of me remember what the precise option was; but it lets you prevent exim4 from trying to connect to the network on boot. I'm guessing that this is a separate problem from your network issue, and I hope this tip fixes it for you. Cheers, John -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
