[klug] Dial up connection

[Nathan Cook]

Well I've had a bit of a chance to sit down and try and get it working. 
I have sorted the lock file problem and also the user has access to 
ttyS0. The modem dials, handshakes and transfers data, from what I can 
see in the log files etc. The modem is definately connected as the phone 
is busy.

When I try to load up google in the browser nothing loads, I ping the ip 
address of google and get no response, I ping the host name of google 
and nothing comes back.

I'm thinking that I don't have the DNS settings right, but these are 
what I have been given from Clear. Could be also that my NIC which is 
connected to an internal LAN is interfering, but if I disable it I still 
get the same issue.

Thanks for your time on this Graeme, do you or anyone else have any ideas?

Regards

Nathan
