As stated... I cannot even ping a webserver to check connection (KPPP
states that it is connected, and the time incrementer goes up as per
normal for a connection).
I originally set up the firewall in MDK Control Centre to standard
which _theoretically and practically_ should allow me to browse the
internet, but, paranoid that I may be, I don't want to surf without a
firewall available.
I'm unable to check firewalls or hosts files (whereabouts is that
located, as am still quite new to Linux) until I get home tonight.
Thanks for the comments
