I just got a linux machine that is configured to use the ethernet card, but I
want to connect to the ethernet with ppp. I believe I've configured ppp fine,
but perhaps not. I seem to connect, but can't ping or connect to anything.
When I look at /var/log/messages, I find the following message, which I
believe is important:
localhost pppd[538]: not replacing default route to eth0 [192.168.1.1]
localhost pppd[538]: Cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP
I will append a more complete account of /var/log/messages at the end of this
message.
When I type ifconfig, I get:
eth0 link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:E0:7D:B2:63:71

When I type 'route' I get the following:
Kernal IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
128.114.228.200 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
localnet * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
default 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
I'd really appreciate any help in configuring things so I connect to the
internet with ppp. If possible, I'd also like to be able to connect to my
kids' hub through the ethernet port to use their printer, but I can deal with
that later. I'm fairly new to Linux, so I hope these messages are the ones
that are relevant; if not, let me know.
Thanks,
Ric
