Hello All
Had to step back from this problem for a while, for health reasons. Back
now, and have got a bit further, but not much!
Have abandoned eurobell as ISP, and gone with freeserve anytime. Have set it
all up in MCC/kppp and Mozilla (thanks to John Richard Smith for freeserve
screenshots),
what this is is either the default gateway or the DNS is wrongly configured.

When you ping by name your machine first has to convert the name
to numbers.
In your case that step is failing.
Check your DNS server setting.
Or just edit /etc/hosts. Lots quicker and is the first place that is
checked for name-IP conversion.

I am no network whizz so i may be blowing smoke here. But in my understanding
if you have a running windows connection a linux connection is usually
achievable.
