Excellent, no hardware issues then.

I assume by that you mean eznet.conf (the first
screen in pppsetup)

The second screen in pppsetup.

There are no other files to edit in pppsetup.

There is no host.deny file in BL3.

Which instructions? The only instructions
from pppsetup say:
-----------------------------------
ppp-on dials your ISP
links starts browser
ppp-off terminates PPP connection
-----------------------------------

It sounds to me like the pppsetup you are
running is not the BL3 pppsetup. I can
think of two possible reasons for this:
(1) you are not running BL3; or (2) you
have installed an add-on to BL3 that has
overwritten the BL3 pppsetup.

If you give us some more details, we will
probably be able to figure out how to fix
this.

Cheers,
Steven
