Hi,
I had a problem earlier this week in which
I could set up a PPP connection, but it wasn't
working properly. I fixed it by re-installing
debian and changing some answers to questions
during the configuration. I think the thing that
did it was that I had previously specified my own
local ip number as a gateway the firsttime and I
put no gateway the second time.
In addition to the DNS problem, I was
unable to get an Xserver to start. It was
suggested that I move from potato to woody. I
did that, and the X server starts now. But,
somewhere in that process my PPP connection got
messed up. I can dial and establish a PPP
connection, but I can't ping anything, not even
by ip number.....
I'm posting from another machine right
now, so i don't have examplesof anything to
include, but I'll try to copysome things tofloppy
so I can post them next time.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
John
