Hi all, I've recently upgraded to slink from hamm and now I'm having a problem with ppp. The networking works much better than hamm which is good and I've configured my ISP's using pppconfig and before so I assumed everything was. I can use Netscape just fine, and lynx mostly works. My problems are with ping and ftp. I can't ping the nameservers or any other destination out on the 'net and I can't ftp either. So my question is what's changed between hamm and slik to affect ftp and ping and how do I get them working?
I'd appreciate a cc because I'm at work at the moment. thanks ps. OK it's not slink. I can remember doing an apt-get to upgrade the distribution and a general update which worked fine and I'd ping idsoftware.com to test the link was up. Fetchmail used to work as well. I half suspect it's Gnome that's done it. Gnome was the last thing I upgraded over a ppp link. Now it appears that addresses are not being resolved correctly. Aaarrrgggghhhhh. HELP.
