Oren,
OK I'll try to be a little more fair.
I uninstalled the Wubi install that at this point had been upgraded to v 19. I uninstalled and did a side by side install. I did all of the updates, as recomended on the official Ubuntu site, and I was now at v20. I did everything as before to install my USR USB dialup modem. It would connect but not download pages. I found the answer in an older article so I 'm not sure if it was the update or not. It did not have to do this previously.
Found the answer deep in the bowels of documentation. My question now is " did version 20 mess this up for everyone with dialup"? I had to:

Code:

gksudo gedit /etc/ppp/options

Add this line and save:

replacedefaultroute

Who knows. I'm back to Linux with a clean install the right way and loving it.
