G'day again... Thanks to George Vieira and Jamie Wilkinson for their answers.
However, I've still had no success. :( I'm working from the release that came with "the advanced linux pocketbook". The install is really fresh. 'pppconfig' has been used to configure the connections, and pon/poff to connect/disconnect. 'route' things as expected, as does 'tail /var/log/messages' (including primary and secondary nameservers listed.) bind is installed. (No further configuration made.) 'ftp ftp.debian.org' results in: ftp: ftp.debain.org: Host name lookup failure What is going on? This is a fresh install. Have I inadvertedly deleted or modified something I shouldn't? (Ie. should I try reinstalling?) I'm under time pressure, as I'm doing the work for a non-profit organisation, and their system is down whilst I'm doing the work. Many thanks!
