Hi!
I've finally managed to get my speedtouch adsl modem working. As it turned out, the speedtch module was causing modem_run to hang. Unloading it resulted in a bright green flash on the ADSL led (Thanks Fulvio!)
So, sing loud sing proud, I was already half way to the moon when... catastrophe arrived disguised as a malfunctioning DNS system.
What happens is this: all internet-based applications work perfectly so long as I use IP addresses, but when I dare to use a domain name, or just even click on an absolute href link, the whole system falls to pieces. Every single program reports Host unavailable/not found. For example: launching Mozilla and typing 66.187.232.50 in the location bar will bring up RedHat Home Page, but www.redhat.com will result in a quite inelegant error message. I even tried this: "ping 66.132.146.48" (WinMX site) works, but "ping www.winmx.com" doesn't.
Any suggestions? Alberto Molteni alberto_molteni@xxxxxxxxx

If you use these, they should work: I guess that you should get dynamic DNS from your ISP (mine are dynamic)
