can't load webpages through using roaring penguin rpppoe
Hello!
For several weeks now (since installation), I have been able to connect to internet pages using the roaring penguin script rpppoe. Starting yesterday, however, when I run the 'adsl-connect' script I get the usual list of remote IP address, local IP address, and the IP addresses of the 2 DNS servers.
When I attempt to access a webpage, though, I unfailingly get the message "www.foo.com" not found. Attempting to ping an domain also times out, but when I attempted to ping the primary dns server there were no problems.
Running 'adsl-status', the info I receive is :
"
link up and running on interface ppp1
inet addr *.231.7.52
P-t-P addr *.231.7.2
mask 255.255.255.255
"
It sounds to me like there is something going on with the dns server, yet when I attempt to connect to the internet on my windows partition (like now) there is no problem.
Might it have something to do with that mask? I am more used to seeing 255.255.255.0, but don't really know what it means!
thanks in advance,
doug
