After doing those changes the modem still does not dial. xanadu:~# pon xanadu:~# ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:20:AF:41:5A:F9 inet addr:192.168.1.100 Bcast:192.168.1.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:26 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:2 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 Interrupt:10 Base address:0x300 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:3924 Metric:1 RX packets:377 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:377 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:10.0.0.1 P-t-P:38.12.23.34 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 xanadu:~# route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 38.12.23.34 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default 38.12.23.34 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0 xanadu:~# ping 38.1.1.1 PING 38.1.1.1 (38.1.1.1): 56 data bytes ping: sendto: Operation not permitted ping: wrote 38.1.1.1 64 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: Operation not permitted ping: wrote 38.1.1.1 64 chars, ret=-1 ping: sendto: Operation not permitted ping: wrote 38.1.1.1 64 chars, ret=-1 --- 38.1.1.1 ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 0 packets received, 100% packet loss xanadu:~# However, it seems this is all moot as I've come up against a seperate problem. Last night I left that box (xanadu) up all night. When I came home from class this afternoon the machine had completely locked up. The screen had blanked, telnet no longer responded, neither did ftp, nor did ping. Nothing responded at all. As far as any other machine on the LAN was concerned xanadu was gone. So I had to reboot using the reset button on the case. I'm suspecting hardware problems. Joy. -- Mike Werner KA8YSD | "Where do you want to go today?"
