hey Rodrigo, I'm assuming by "navigation" you mean "using a graphical web browser"? If so, this does not sound like a kernel problem; most likely a problem with your browser or network configuration. > 2) I can not connect to my msn account not with Gaim not with aMSN > > the avobe problems dissapear if I connect the Linux box to a Windows > box with DHCP. This may also be your network config, or a bug in your IM client - its hard to say. Maybe you are using a different DNS server in your two tests? > so it is strange. > maybe a bug in PPP? If wget isn't affected it is unlikely a bug with pppd or the kernel. This bug needs more clarification before it can properly be reassigned or resolved, and is likely one or more configuration issues. I suggest sending an e-mail to the debian-user list (or one of the lists for your language) to look for some general assistance to help narrow down your problem. I will close this bug for now, but if the user list is able to help you narrow down the issue(s), and there is more evidence that this is a kernel problem, please file a new bug or reopen this one. Sorry I can't be more helpful :( P.S.: The kernel you are running has many unfixed security vulnerabilities - I strongly suggest you add security.debian.org to your sources.list and apt-get install the latest kernel-image-2.6-686 package. -- dann frazier -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
