This as such is not a diald question, but does anyone have any suggestions where to look. After establishing a PPP link to my ISP (either manually, or via diald), and trying to ping a host out on the net, the system messages repeatedly report that packets are denied - the ping sometimes returns a response.

The hosts.deny file is empty, the hosts.allow file has ALL:ALL and so far as I can tell, no 'ipchains' commands are issued from the startup scripts. Thanks for your help.
