Can't connect to the internet after "aptitude safe-upgrade"



Hi!

I use an ADSL modem to connect to the internet. A few hours ago I ran "aptitude safe-upgrade" on two computers with sid installed on them. As soon as the upgrade finished I lost my internet connection on both computers. When I rebooted them and ran "pon dsl-provider" and ifconfig, ppp0 did show up. Here are the ifconfig outcomes.

Outcome 1

/etc/resolv.conf on the computers seemed OK, but I couldn't ping any website or connect to any website using Firefox. I tried using OpenDNS but it didn't help.

On the computer that I'm using now I didn't run "aptitude safe-upgrade" and the internet connection is fine, so the problem isn't related to my ADSL modem or my ISP.

Someone suggested that I should run

/etc/init.d/network-manager restart

but it didn't work.

Thanks for any help.
