No, I don't have a diald.options file. Is that mandatory? If so, what do I
need to have in it?

I can use both IP addresses, and canonical names on my local ISP. If I try
to ping an address "further away" than that (ie. www.freshmeat.net), then it
will resolve the name to an IP address, but I can't see any return packets
if I use ping. Telnet does the same thing.
My ISP gives me a dynamic IP address so I have put the keywords "dynamic"
and "defaultroute" into my diald.conf to account for that. Is this correct?
I have my ISPs DNS servers address in my /etc/resolv.conf file.
I have attached the output from the route command, when I brought the link
up manually.
My box is a RH 5.2 machine.
Thanks,
Richard
