Sorry if this is in the archives, but I could not find anything immediately relevant.
Reinstall of Mandrake 9.1, have set up shorewall(2.0) firewall and have local network/samba/cups running (sigh).
Dialup works in the sense of being able to connect to my ISP, but no access to the net and pinging the nameserver in resolv.conf gives "Destination host unreachable"
Previously I had found this happened when the default Drake.conf firewall setting was anything other than "Allow everything" but now no joy.
Uninstalling shorewall completely still does not allow connection of browser, mail or ping to nameserver address from resolv.conf, so it does not seem to be just a firewall issue.
Where can I set debug levels for the connection? Looking at syslog & messages doesn't seem to show anything informative. ifconfig looks OK, showing local eth0 address and appropriate entries for the dialup nameservers, but I cannot ping the latter.
This has been going for a couple of weeks now, and iam feeling very frustrated. I had just installed win-4-lin so that I did not have to reboot Windows, and now I do just to ask for help about my Linux networking.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Russell
