Hi!
I use an ADSL modem to connect to the internet. A few hours ago I ran
"aptitude safe-upgrade" on two computers with sid installed on them.
As soon as the upgrade finished I lost my internet connection on both
computers. When I rebooted them and ran "pon dsl-provider" and
ifconfig, ppp0 did show up. Here are the ifconfig outcomes.
Outcome 1

/etc/resolv.conf on the computers seemed OK, but I couldn't ping any
website or connect to any website using Firefox. I tried using
OpenDNS but it didn't help.
On the computer that I'm using now I didn't run "aptitude
safe-upgrade" and the internet connection is fine, so the problem
isn't related to my ADSL modem or my ISP.
Someone suggested that I should run
/etc/init.d/network-manager restart
but it didn't work.
Thanks for any help.
