(sorry, everyone, i'm posting this again in plain text) I reinstalled Mandrake 8, straight out of he box i installed roaring penguin's pppoe version 3. Worked fine. Later I ran InteractiveBastille, configured my system securiy. For some reason i can browse sites as root, but as user I can only browse by ip address. If I typea name I get a "host name unresolved" message.. I tried stopping Batille, and also stopping it from starting up at boot, no change. What's up with this? Can I change this? -Paul R _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get your free @yahoo.com address at http://mail.yahoo.com
