Thanks, I'll give this a shot - my criteria for no Internet were that I 
couldn't connect with Mozilla, but also that "ping whatever.com" returned 
"unknown host" - from what I learned getting the connection working with 
kernel 2.2.X, it looks like everything should work, but since I installed 
2.4.7 I can't seem to connect.

Thanks again for any advice.
