Dave and Paul,

I'm not sure what fixed things. I reinstalled Mandrake
last night because I have played around with so many
files that I wasn't sure of the original state of the
install.

I made sure I had bind utilities installed, and
carefully configured my rp-pppoe software, initially
with NO firewall, since the instructions for
adsl-setup said that if I selected a firewall setting
AND I had any servers running, that no traffic would
pass. Since I don't know how to tell if I have any
servers running (do you?) I said NONE for the firewall
setting. 

Now, everything works! DNS, mail, everything. I set up
my login and my wife's login. Everything looks good.
Now I can post the newbie group about something else!

Thanks,
-Paul Schwebel
