RE: Still the same message about the proxy ARP. Ignore it. Just try: $ ping -c2 217.146.186.221 which should return: PING 217.146.186.221 (217.146.186.221) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from 217.146.186.221: icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=98.9 ms 64 bytes from 217.146.186.221: icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=99.3 ms and then the names address: $ ping -c 2 yahoo.co.uk which should return: PING yahoo.co.uk (217.146.186.221) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from rc1.vip.ird.yahoo.com (217.146.186.221): icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=100 ms in which case you will be able to browse.

I can close the eth0 channel by deselecting the Wirded connection in network-admin. I get this, when the dial-up connetion is on (that is output of plog and ifconfig): jarnos@jarnos-desktop:~$ plog May 16 15:02:18 jarnos-desktop chat[5528]: ATDP1067030^M^M May 16 15:02:18 jarnos-desktop chat[5528]: CONNECT May 16 15:02:18 jarnos-desktop chat[5528]: -- got it May 16 15:02:18 jarnos-desktop pppd[5514]: Serial connection established.

Could this have something to do with the DNS servers or search domains (given in network-admin)? -- Homepage: http://iki.fi/jarno.suni/ ____________________________________________________________________________________ TV dinner still cooling?
