ok, You say opus has no problems pinging, say yahoo.com, but that if you try to do that on CW it just hangs "looking up yahoo.com", right?
Yes and no, when I use lynx or netscrape it hangs with the looking up error. But when I ping I got two differet errors. At first I was getting something like "net not accessable" (I didn't keep the error, sorry) each time it pinged. Then after I messed around with the files some (I've been on this for about 2 weeks now.) I stopped getting anything. I would run ping xxx.xx.xxx.xxx and it would just sit there. When I ^c out of ping it would say something about x packages sent 0 returned 100% lost. I would then do the same ping command on Opus and it worked.
This sounds like something is eating packets. When you do a ping from CW, can you tell if they ever go out over the ppp link. Can you see any tx/rx lights on the modem, for instance? If you have any lights on the ethernet card(s), check there too. Another thing to check; do you have a dummy0 device on CW? If so, what happens when you do an "ifconfig dummy0 down" on CW and then do the ping thing.
If that's the case, what happens if you ping the ip address instead of the name (from CW)? Do a "nslookup yahoo.com" on opus, then use the ip you get back to ping from CW. I get "204.71.200.245" doing the nslookup here, what happens if you do a "ping 204.71.200.245" from CW?
I'll try to ping yahoo when I get on the net to send this to you. But if the guys in black break down my door as some type of hacker I'll tell them that you said to do it. :)
