&gt; Hmmm.
&gt; 
&gt; &gt;
&gt; &gt; But some addresses just can't be found even when I have a perfectly good
&gt; &gt; PPP connection. This issue doesn't exist in Windows (which I'm using
&gt; &gt; now) so it has to be a Linux issue. Any further ideas on what I should
&gt; &gt; check?
&gt; 
&gt; Assuming that SF isn't having issues, what does &quot;iptables --list -n&quot;
&gt; show?  Is it blocking mail/dns?
