except the box I am connected to. This is true with KPPP and with pon. Each has been configured independently. After several attempts, I replaced the /etc/resolv.conflict file with one from a working RH installaation, but no go.

I reset all the timeouts to maxima. PPPStatus reports "stalls" without end except when pinging the ISP box I am connected to. No other IP traffic is sent.

The same ISP, number and modem work fine under Windows, and works fine under RH-6.2 on my old box, so the prob is neither with my hardware nor with the ISP.

Can someone shed some light on this prob? What am I overlooking? Or is Knoppix 060603 (3.2) flawed in some way? Should I try another build?
