Hi all

I have recently installed Linux 1.2.8 in my 386sx box, and I had it
working reasonably well. I could telnet to wherever, use IRC, whatever, no
problems. 

BUT...

A coupla days ago I compiled and installed a gopher client on my machine,
and now whenever I try to use DIP to do whatever, it throws me off. I can
call to zeta (My service provider), I get answered and told I am
connected, and the phone connection holds. All fine so far. But when I try
to use *any* client, it connects, then immediately drops the phone
connection and tells me that the network is unreachable. 

This also seems to have affected my Winsock setup as well (It's on a
different partition on the same hard disk, using LILO to start up),
although I don't see how it could be. I cannot telnet to anywhere using
Winsock at all. My telnet client just sits there and does nothing. 

Does anybody have any suggestions as to where I should begin to look to
solve this problem. I'd thought of the modem, but the settings all seem to
be the same under DOS, Windoze, or Linux. 

Any and all help muchly appreciated. E-mail replies as well as news
posting, please.
