My money is on them. And it is _probably_ no more than a simple typo on their
part when handling dynamically assigned ips to a large block of them.
Ok, so this is for the purposes of answering me, or, them.
first you have to establish whether you can get to the outside world at all,
after a dial (i think you said no). In short
find a hard ip number in the outside world that will answer pings
yahoo on 216.115.108.243 is a safe bet.
no answer means your default gateway is stuffed, OR, 'them' have a routing
problem on THEIR 216.47.25.5 (it's easy enough for an isp to bungle a script)
<slap>
/sbin/ifconfig
_should_ show the following
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
216.47.25.5 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0
if that ^^^^ gateway and defailt isn't there, *you* have a problem, houston.
On the other hand, if you _can_ at least ping a hard number, you, or them
have a dns issue.
cat /etc/resolv.conf
ping the last listed server
if it doesn't respond, you, or them, are lying about where the dns server is.
