A resend Hi, On Slackware10 suddenly I cannot connect to the Internet with my major ISP skyinet.net. I can login, however, cannot fetch or send mail nor open a web page. I can ping successfully with no package loss.
I redid pppsetup and in kppp deleted and reinstalled this particular ISP the problem remained. I then did tar xf etc.tar which I back-up monthly again no change. With my second ISP in slackware I have no such problem. If I boot into RH9 my major ISP skyinet.net works with no problems indicating the problem must lay within the slackware box. this mail is now sent from RH9. Any suggestions how I will solve this problem? tail -n 40 /var/log/messages Aug 27 08:40:23 skyinet gconfd (heisspf-680): starting (version 2.6.2), pid 680 user 'heisspf' Aug 27 08:40:23 skyinet gconfd (heisspf-680): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/et c/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory" to a read-only config source at position 0 Aug 27 08:40:23 skyinet gconfd (heisspf-680): Resolved address "xml:readwrite:/h ome/peter/.gconf" to a writable config source at position 1 Aug 27 08:40:23 skyinet gconfd (heisspf-680): Resolved address "xml:readonly:/et c/gconf/gconf.xml.defaults" to a read-only config source at position 2 Aug 27 08:46:23 skyinet gconfd (heisspf-680): GConf server is not in use, shutti ng down.
