The 127.0.0.1 problem is not connected to this issue. You should be able to 'ping' 127.0.0.1 even if you don't have a network card. Its internal communications within the OS and has nothing to do with the physical part of the computer.
I think the problem may be that the Belkin router is running the ppoe client for the network, so the computer needs to be setup as a network client, not an ADSL client. If the card is recognised as eth1 it should be set up to get DHCP and DNS services from the belkin router. The computer should not have to provide other information. ( I had a similar problem with my Linksys cable/DSL switch when I got it. When I figured out that the switch provided the services to the outside network it was not a problem.) -- -- Jim ----------------------------------------------------------------------- james Mellema, CRNA ICQ # 19685870 Linux User 71650 ----------------------------------------------------------------------- "The only people who like Microsoft are those who don't understand.
