I have Debian 1.3 (from the Boot magazine cd) installed on my amd 586, and most things are working well...got XFree86 running, starting to learn my way around but still doing a lot of thrashing, and have rtfm'd til the wee hours.
I'm trying to get a ppp connection to my ISP going and have run into some problems. I think I've got all my ppp files setup up correctly, using "pon" and "poff", modem's dialing out, everything looks good until; (When I do a tail -f /var/log/messages, this is what I see...) (I didn't include all the prior chat...the dialout script seems to be ok...)

When it appears the ppp link is up (like when it says Connect: ppp1, I try starting lynx, I get "cannot access startfile http://www.oro.net"; (my ISP) When I try ping, I get "network is unreachable"... Can anybody tell from this log if I've actually made a ppp connection? (Sorry if this is a _really_ stupid question...I'm real new at this!) The tech support guy at my ISP said I didn't need to do anything special to start ppp...but he did tell me I needed to do this from Xwindows...He's a umsdos linux'r. Oh yeah, and they're not using PAP. Oronet is using Debian linux for their server, btw! Also, I'm not on a network, I'm just a standalone box dialing into my ISP. Should my machine name be the same as my ISP username? or does it make a difference?
