Hi All I am working on Debian sarge 2.6.11,When I connent to internet, through my Reliance Landline Connection, all the desktop shortcuts stop responding whereas the task bar Icons respond mostly though sometimes they to turn obstinate. Initially i thought it could be because of the Firestarter as when i tried to log in through Terminal 1 or any other tty i get characters like this running that i cannot run any command. IN=PP0 OUT= MAC= SRC=220.226.9.18 DST=220.226.6.188 LEN=48 TOS=0X00 TTL=45 ID=41026 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=265 1 DPT=445 WINDOW=16384 As soon as i killl pppd after sometime the system may work. I neither see any heavy disk activity during all this. Tried google but could not locate the same error somebody facing too. Any help would be appreci -ated. -- Sachin ____________________________________________________ Yahoo! Sports Rekindle the Rivalries.
