Probably the gateway is no setup. type route and default should be ppp0 if not, go to /etc/sysconfig and edit the file called network. it should have the following 2 entries (at least) GATEWAY="" GATEWAYDEV=ppp0 2nd getting more people to use linux Just start giving out cds with knoppix http://www.knopper.net/knoppix/index-en.html Its impressive a fully functioanl debian based distro that runs entirely from the cd, no need to play around with partitions, or install a secondry hard dirve, just boot from the cd and within a minute you are inside kde. It also functions as a rescue disc, as it can mount many type s of file systems, if your windows install gets corrupt, you can boot with knoppix and transfer files via network.
