Both of you should try adsl-start as an alternative. I had been using pppd at boot-time to get my DSL connection up and it has worked for months. However, about a week ago, it stopped working. I fought with it for a while. Just to see what happened, I tried adsl-start and it worked immediately. I have not had time to figure out why this is, but it worked for me. I have been using that for the past week or so, until I can figure out why.
By the way, I haven't been able to access news.verizon.net either since this happened. It doesn't respond to ping or anything. I also cannot ping it from other machines, so it seems down to me. But it seems strange that this occurred with the other change. HTH. Brian -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
