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 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Make a great connection at Yahoo!
