I've received a couple of request for more information on my problem of not
being able to properly access the internet while using RH6, so here goes,
I'll give you what little I can.

when i connect to the net (or try to) using usernet and ping my ISP's
(Senet) website (www.senet.com.au) it doesn't recognise the address and
cannot contact the server, but I can ping the IP address 203.11.90.1 and
get a response

if i execute netstat -r this is what i get

destination	gateway	genmask		flags	mss	window	irtt	iface
203.11.90.1	*		255.255.255.255	UH	0	0	0	ppp0
127.0.0.0	*		255.0.0.0		U	0	0	0	lo
default		203.11.90.1	0.0.0.0			UG	0	0	0	ppp0

and when I use ifconfig -a, i get

lo	linkencap: local loopback
	inet addr: 127.0.0.1 mask: 255.0.0.0
	UP LOOPBACK RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
	Rx Packets:78 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
	Tx Packets:78 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
	collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

ppp0		linkencap: local loopback
	inet addr: 127.0.0.1 mask: 255.0.0.0
	UP POINT TO POINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
	Rx Packets:33 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
	Tx Packets:34 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
	collisions:0 txqueuelen:0

I hope this extra information helps,

thanks in advance,
David Creed.
