Marv, I'm using KPPP as my dialer. I have a failure of gmail.com ping, but success of the IP for same. the output of ifconfig (after i shutdown eth0), is only lo with it's block. cat /etc/resolv.conf gives the following: /etc/resolv.conf Is a directory sudo tail -f /var/log/messages gives the following: Jun 7 21:10:55 CASWELL pppd[3896]: pppd 2.4.5 started by root, uid 0 Jun 7 21:10:55 CASWELL pppd[3896]: Using interface ppp0 Jun 7 21:10:55 CASWELL pppd[3896]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttySHSF0 Jun 7 21:11:02 CASWELL pppd[3896]: PAP authentication succeeded Jun 7 21:11:03 CASWELL pppd[3896]: local IP address 205.200.61.55 Jun 7 21:11:03 CASWELL pppd[3896]: remote IP address 205.200.61.1 Jun 7 21:11:03 CASWELL pppd[3896]: primary DNS address 142.161.130.154 Jun 7 21:11:03 CASWELL pppd[3896]: secondary DNS address 142.161.2.154 However, the DNS addresses in /etc/ppp/resolv.conf are listed (correctly) as 142.161.130.155 and 142.161.2.155 maybe this is causing the problem?
