My *problem* was that I didn't have shorewall properly configured to allow my adsl to work. I had selected "ethernet" instead of "ppp+". Also, I didn't have mcc options set to "expert mode", so therefore security and firewall fine tuning settings were hidden from me. DUH! [:-/ Margot, I still have your pic, and while you may not be an expert on this, you look extremely lovely in your *newbieness*. Rival is pretty sharp too. ;-) Thanks to all, and best regards. --Angus "Let us not look back in anger or forward in fear, but around in awareness." -- James Thurber *********************************************** ~Linux Laptop, Powered by Mandriva-2005LE~ *********************************************** ~Reg.
