I decided to try Mandrake since I had 8.1 here. All works well EXCEPT I cannot browse the internet or collect email. When I dial (wvdial) the system logs on and IFCONFIG tells me the address I have been assigne and the p-t-p address. I can ping the p-t-p address and all seems well. The browser has the same proxy settings as before (I never reformat /home) and the SMTP and POP settings are correct but no matter which browser I try I get a long timeout period and then "cannot find server" and "check address" errors and kmail says it can't find the server. Any clues appreciated.
