Hi, After getting grub to work and booting with the k7 kernel rather than the bf2.4 the DNS problem returned..or that's what I think I'm seeing-basically a conection that doesn't work. So I ran plog, I got an exit status 1; I put exit 0 in the 6 scripts in /etc/ppp/ip-up.d Oct 13 12:34:57 deblnx pppd[1328]: not replacing existing default route to tap0 [0.0.0.0] Oct 13 12:34:57 deblnx pppd[1328]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP Oct 13 12:34:57 deblnx pppd[1328]: local IP address 67.75.63.145 Oct 13 12:34:57 deblnx pppd[1328]: remote IP address 63.215.27.35 Oct 13 12:34:57 deblnx pppd[1328]: primary DNS address 209.244.0.3 Oct 13 12:34:57 deblnx pppd[1328]: secondary DNS address 209.244.0.4 Oct 13 12:34:57 deblnx pppd[1328]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up started (pid 1369) Oct 13 12:34:58 deblnx pppd[1328]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid 1369), status = 0x0 deblnx:/home/john# deblnx:/home/john# ls -l /etc/ppp/ip-up.d total 24 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 969 Oct 13 12:26 000usepeerdns -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2466 Oct 13 12:27 0dns-up -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 831 Oct 13 12:30 1wwwoffle -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 92 Oct 13 12:33 exim -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 246 Oct 13 12:33 fetchmail -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 230 Oct 13 12:34 leafnode after removing the 'exit 0' from exim (this time I did it in the order of ls -l ) I got a: deblnx:/home/john# plog Oct 13 12:45:55 deblnx pppd[1739]: not replacing existing default route to tap0 [0.0.0.0] Oct 13 12:45:55 deblnx pppd[1739]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP Oct 13 12:45:55 deblnx pppd[1739]: local IP address 67.75.62.176 Oct 13 12:45:55 deblnx pppd[1739]: remote IP address 63.215.27.33 Oct 13 12:45:55 deblnx pppd[1739]: primary DNS address 209.244.0.3 Oct 13 12:45:55 deblnx pppd[1739]: secondary DNS address 209.244.0.4 Oct 13 12:45:55 deblnx pppd[1739]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up started (pid 1780) Oct 13 12:45:55 deblnx pppd[1739]: Script /etc/ppp/ip-up finished (pid 1780), status = 0x1 This is what's in exim: #!/bin/sh # Flush exim queue if [ -x /usr/sbin/exim ]; then /usr/sbin/exim -qf fi
I'm just doing what I remembered from the help I got before.
