Hello, I have recently aquired a PPP-based ISP, in hopes to get linux network connectivity. I have been working with the PPP howto, and got PPP somewhat working.
I am stuck at the point where a "route -n" only shows ONE ppp0 connection, where the howto says it should show TWO. I am able to ping the IP address of the remote machine OK. I am not able to do anything else though. No default route "stuff" shows up, and I'm wondering if the debian distribution sets up something that I must change. I am using a PCMCIA-based modem, connecting manually through minicom and specifying my username and password. I then quit minicom leaving the modem connected, and run "pppd -d -detach /dev/ttyS2 57600". When I ran "pppconfig" it put the 2 DNS server numbers in OK, but according to the howto, there should be a "domain ISP_DOMAIN_NAME" line before them, and I don't know the name, or if it is needed. I can post more info,, but I do not know where to start. Anyone have any clues as to why the default route is not setup? Thanks, John ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
