When I installed Mdk9, I had dialup, and a eth0 as well. Using the Mandrake wizard, always seemed to make gatewaydev in /etc/sysconfig/network file point to eth0 change that line to ppp0, then as root, service network restart. Hope this helps.

It is possible the Ethernet is set as default gateway so preventing Internet traffic from using dialup. You can test this by typing in a root terminal 'route' You will then get a display of known routes. If one of them shows the default route as being via eth0 then that is the problem. To fix it for the current session route del default route add default ppp0 HTH derek -- ---------------------------------- www.jennings.homelinux.net
