Dear Sluggers,
I've been setting up my new box by ftp'ing files from the old box. New box
has potato installed.
I finally decided that everything is ready to go, and I can remove the old
machine. Unplugged the modem and attached it to the new machine.
Seems I have a problem with sockets. I can connect OK, using either wvdial,
or pon (using pppconfig's set-up). Tailing /var/log/messages shows a
successful connection.
However, nothing works. Lynx is unable to find remote host. Fetchmail exits
with a message about sockets. So does Netscape; Mozilla is unable to resolve
remote host.
I had this problem once before when I partitioned the hd into about 6
partitions. However here I have the drive (30G) divided into 4,
hda1 /boot 5G
hda2 / 24G
hda3 swap 128M
hda4 Redhat (experimental) 5G
Here's the head of the output from netstat:
debian:~# netstat

Obviously I've put the modem back on the old box.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Nick
