Cannot see beyond ISP and DNS servers with Slackware 4.0
I installed Slackware 4.0 disksets A and N, plus the Lynx text browser, on an old 386 laptop. Nothing else. I have configured ppp (correctly - many times!) and can dial and connect to my ISP using PAP. However, I cannot see beyond the ISP. I can ping the ISP and the DNS servers, but absolutely nothing else. All relevant files (/etc/resolv.conf, /etc/ppp/options) have been checked and correct. ifconfig and route give the correct information. I am absolutely stumped. It is not a file permission problem - I connected as root (bad move I know, but I needed to check), still no go. Windows 98 connection to the same ISP account works fine. I am using the default kernel from the bare.i disk. There are no error messages in /var/log/messages except "host not found". Thanking in advance for your help, Vinref.
