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.
