You're a genius! Commenting out the gateway line in interfaces fixed it all.

Try | "route del default gw" and then "route add default gw <gateway ip>". | | If that works, then you'll want to comment out the gateway entry in | /etc/network/interfaces (if you've got it set there). PPP will set up | the default gateway automatically for you (at least it does with | Benoit's adsl script). | | > Can anyone help me?

It should have a line | saying "order hosts,bind", which means that it will look in the hosts | file first, and if the host is not found, it'll contact its first | nameserver (which is defined in /etc/resolv.conf). You can either | enter your ISPs nameservers manually in resolv.conf, or make sure that | you have the "usepeerdns" entry in your /etc/ppp/peers/adsl script (I | believe this is the default if you use the script file in Benoit's | tarball). | | Cheers, | Sean | | -- | Sean Quinlan ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) | | | -- | To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | with a subject of "unsubscribe".
