Hi Alexander (and anyone that has some insight into this problem),
Thanks for your help so far.
The files:
/etc/hosts
and
/etc/resolv.conf
are configured correctly.
The connection still fails, so I have included my routing table for you to see, if it helps:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
165.165.128.1__0.0.0.0________255.255.255.255__UH__0__0__0__ppp0
192.168.1.0____192.168.1.10___255.255.255.0____UG__0__0__0__eth0
192.168.1.0____0.0.0.0________255.255.255.0____U___0__0__0__eth0
169.254.0.0____0.0.0.0________255.255.0.0______U___0__0__0__eth0
127.0.0.0______0.0.0.0________255.0.0.0________U___0__0__0__lo
0.0.0.0________192.168.1.254__0.0.0.0__________UG__0__0__0__eth0
(underscores for legibility purposes ;-P )
The ADSL's IP is 192.168.1.254, host machine eth0 static IP is 192.168.1.10.
I've also set ppp0 as a trusted device in firewall setup if that changes anything.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Stuart
