Andy,

Are you referring to MOL under YDL4?  I had initial problems
getting networking to work properly under MOL 9.71; I could
ping any IP address that I tried, but had no DNS name service. It
turned out to be a problem with firewalling; the default iptables
configuration under YDL4 seems to be more strict than the "medium"
firewall under YDL3.01.  Using the Kmenu/System Settings/Security
Level tool, I could get it working either by turning firewalling
off, or by leaving it on and setting all interfaces (eth0, eth1, tun)
to "trusted"
