I don't have 'host' but root@/deb40a:~> wget -v google.com --16:28:14-- http://google.com/ => `google.com/index.html' Resolving google.com... 74.125.227.20, 74.125.227.16, 74.125.227.17, ...

In a message from Paul Cartwright he said, 'in my interfaces file I have a DHCP setup commented out, I use static IP'. So I tried that and the messages you see above are after my switching to static IP address. So it now looks like the question I need to answer is: What do wget and browsers have in common that is handled differently when using ppp0 vs. eth0? Thanks for your support. With the help of this list, though the symptoms haven't changed the problem just may be closer to solution. Mike -- Satisfied user of Linux since 1997.
