Dear Ubuntu Users
My wife and I share a four port router and we both are running 10.04
My Internet connection is fine but she is now receiving 'unable to
connect to server'

There is no hardware fault as the machine is dual boot and MSwindows
connects OK
I have checked /etc/resolv.conf and that is fine.
Ran pppoeconf but could not make any sense of the output ( it opened a
ncurses window, did some scanning and reported on both machines aid on
both machines that it could not connect - obviously wrong on mine).
Then ran  "ifconfig -a" on both machines the results are as below:

I have been struggling with this for some time but no joy.
Help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
