I installed from source I downloaded. I have since had a look at the
source and
tried to disable tap modules but don't know exactly what I'm doing
here.
So I have
left it unchanged.

It contains the single word

Ok. So if I am dialing in and starting ppp then maybe I have stuffed
some of the
DNS stuff. I am running named. I can ping the login server
(203.57.114.129) but I
can't ping the ISP's DNS servers (203.13.174.1, 203.13.174.15) and of
course any
browser action is defunct. I get error messages from (my) squid saying
the cache
couldn't resolve the host name or the destination net is unreachable.
DNS was working previously but it is entirely possible that I have
edited a config
file and stuffed it up.
I am also running ipchains so just to be sure that I'm not blocking any
packets -
this is for testing purposes only

/etc/hosts is alright so I wont list it here, but yes it contains the

Are there other files I need to check to get name lookups working??
