I'm terribly sorry about that; I should have thought of it. Well, here's a new
thread anyway. Thanks to everyone who has responded! This problem has been
quite frustrating for me.

OK thanks; I hadn't heard of this ... it appears that I just have to 'shorewall
stop'?

Yes, I did and got the same problem.
Thanks again - here's my original query:
Hi,
I've searched the archives and tried some suggestions for similar problems, but
without success. Mandrake 9.1 was just installed. I launch KPPP and everything
seems to work as the connection is established. However, web browsers fail to
load any pages and I can't even ping anything except my own IP that my ISP
assigns me dynamically (I've tried IP numbers, not just hostnames, and I've
tried both as root and as a regular user). Here's some info that might help:

My modem is U.S. Robotics 56K FAX INT V5.0.0. I've also tried with/without 'Use
lock file' checked in KPPP's device options. Right now KPPP is set to PAP
authentication, to obtain dynamic IP (per ISP's instructions), default gateway
and automatic DNS (also tried manually entering ISP's DNS IP). I've tried
'chmod u+s pppd' and 'service network restart' after making some of the above
changes. Also, I removed an old ethernet card that wasn't being used in case it
was causing a problem with eth0 vs. ppp0.
I'd be extremely grateful if someone could help me!
Thanks,
Joe
