Internet connection appears to be an issue and like others I have had problems in this area, but now I have complecated it further. My main concern is this and it doesn't appear in other listings.
DHCP now fails to start and i get the following error "IP outside server range". DHCP.conf appears to be okay and I have diabled the proxy server and the firewall.
Can anybody point me into the right direction.

Are you unable to get an internet connection? Trying to configure a server? Give a little more detail (like what you are trying to do, any relevant config file pieces), and maybe someone can help you out.

Problem is now fixed, my dhcp.conf file appeared to be corrupt. I reconfigured a new one manually - same settings but now it works. As for the internet conection- no I couldn't get out but a previous listing pointed me in the right dirrection. I had a tap0 device which was the default and it appeared that I had daild loaded. I have now removed this and set the default to a ppp0 device and the internet now works. Thanks for the assistence.....
