Take a look at the DNS setup in LinuxConfig. I have seen it stick a temporary
address in there, instead of the ISP name server and hold on to it if you had
a bad shutdown or forgot to shut down the modem before shutting down the
system. If it shows two or three temporary xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx addresses change
them back to your ISP dial up addresses and then try connecting. Luck,
