It sounds like it is in the DNS lookup, or the PPP config files. In your /etc/ppp/ppp.linkup file you should have some lines like: MYADDR: # or 'your_isp_name:', if you connect using "ppp -ddial your_isp_name" (or ppp -auto or whatever). delete ALL add 0 0 HISADDR That will make sure that you have a gateway address to your isp. When I installed 3.1-Release, there was a comment that said this wasn't needed anymore, but it didn't work without it for me. If that doesn't work, it's probably in your DNS lookup (does it take a long time for it to tell you that it can't find the domain name, or does it pop up right away?).
