Thanks for the suggestions so far. Yes, I do have ppp
installed, pppd is up and running, and it appears all
the packages needed are installed. Syslog doesn't show
any errors -- it shows that everything coming up in
order. As I said, the routing table looks OK - there
is an entry for my local network and for the rest of
the world through ppp0. /etc/resolve.conf looks OK
too, it has the new name servers in (though the
origional one on my local network gets removed. Will
this upset the internet side of things?).
The strange thing is it works on the older system and
not the newer one. I guess I was wondering if this is
a bug, or just my setup.
Cheers,
Mark
