It depends. Dialup connection you say. Do you have a standard IP number
from your ISP or a dynamically allocated one? Slip, PPP? Does this
connection work ok under normal conditions (i.e. ping, nslookup, proxy,
telnet)? Does "netstat -rn" always return a default gateway? Can you
ping the desired Internet host(s)? How is your name server set up
(especially named.boot)? If you have a bind name server, what do you get
by analyzing /usr/tmp/named.run and named_dump.db? And so on ...
There are so many variables ...
