I have no idea what that means, but I'll give DHCP a try if you know of some good documentation that explains how to set it up. Can you recommend some packages? On the other hand, I might have made some progress by removing a DHCP package I tried and changing /etc/network/interfaces back to the way it was. At least now I can use Apache, FTP, and Dict again. Now when I run 'pon dsl-provider' and plog I get: Jan 17 19:54:08 lotek pppd[6273]: pppd 2.4.4 started by root, uid 0 Jan 17 19:54:08 lotek pppd[6273]: Using interface ppp0 Jan 17 19:54:08 lotek pppd[6273]: found interface eth0 for proxy arp Jan 17 19:54:08 lotek pppd[6273]: local IP address 10.64.64.64 Jan 17 19:54:08 lotek pppd[6273]: remote IP address 10.112.112.112 If I paste 10.64.64.64 into the browser I get my system, but if I paste 10.112.112.112 I get nothing. In the syslog it says: Jan 17 19:55:48 lotek pppoe[6312]: Timeout waiting for PADO packets Jan 17 19:56:57 lotek pppd[6273]: Starting link Jan 17 19:56:57 lotek pppd[6273]: Serial connection established.
