[SLUG] Mandrake 8.1 and the internet

["Ashley Lynn" <heracles@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I decided to try Mandrake since I had 8.1 here. All works well EXCEPT I cannot
browse the internet or collect email.
When I dial (wvdial) the system logs on and IFCONFIG tells me the address I
have been assigne and the p-t-p address.
I can ping the p-t-p address and all seems well.
The browser has the same proxy settings as before (I never reformat /home) and
the SMTP and POP settings are correct but no matter which browser I try I get
a long timeout period and then "cannot find server" and "check address" errors
and kmail says it can't find the server. 
Any clues appreciated.

Stay well and happy
