I once had a working diald and now I don't. I admit to making a change in
the system configuration somewhere but, and I realise my mistake here, I
cannot get back to the previous settings. I am now paying for the oversight
and I apologise for having to ask this question. I have not changed the
diald parameters.

Problem: diald comes up and appears to set routes but Netscape does not
find the new interface and diald does not dial out. Previously I noticed
that when I entered the command 'route' diald would dial out and eventually
'route' would show the new dynamic IP numbers on interface ppp0. Now all I
get is the following:

192.168.0.0   *   255.255.255.255   UH   1   0   0   dummy0
192.168.1.8   *   255.255.255.255   UH   0   0   0   sl0
192.168.1.8   *   255.255.255.255   UH   0   0   0   sl0
192.168.0.0   *   255.255.255.0     U   0   0   0   eth0
loopback       *   255.0.0.0         U   0   0   0   lo
default           *   0.0.0.0           U   0   0   0   sl0

I have a simple network of a Linux server running SuSE 6.2, kernel 2.2.13,
samba, diald 0.99.1, dhcp. I do not use NFS, NIS, named, or routed.

The network functions. User workstations log on, dhcp gives them an address
and samba communicates.

If I set diald 'up' it dials out and gathers the dynamic addresses
producing a new route table with sl0 replaced by ppp0, and the new IP
address in place. But still Netscape does not see the interface.

Any clues please?
