Dear all,
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.
Working again!
I did put your "route" configuration in, Derek, but no definite benefit seen.
I happened to click on the "details" of the kppp icon and noted that the remote address shown there was not the one shown in resolv.conf as nameserver and could be pinged successfully.
Reinstalled shorewall and carefully set up in accordance with the Two-interface sample, modified for Samba and now all is well. I also deleted the gateway setting for the DNS Client and I suspect that may have been the problem.
Have another minor problem, but will start another thread for that
Russell
