Greetings I am trying to make the move the Etch. Before I can make the move I need to insure I can get on the internet. (Much of my college work is on the internet.)
I am attempting to connect to my ISP with wvdial. The instructions I found states that I should run wvdialconf command. I did. It sets a few settings for you. The instructions state that I should now change the phone number in the wvdial.conf file to the appropriate settings. I did that. I then ran the wvdial command per instructions and the dude takes off and dial out and appears to establish a connection. I try to ping my college's server and nothing. I tried to view a web page with a browser and nothing. (I did all the above as root.) The ifconfig seems to show that I am connected. Running the route command shows that there is an entry for ppp0. Now am I missing something? No messing around with the resolve.conf file of hosts file? Is there a default route that I am missing that needs to be changed? Connecting to the internet is now the only barrier that keeps me from making the move to Etch, and removing the SuSE 10.3 (which has a slew of odd problems) from my system. Any information will be helpful. Best Regards Walt L. Williams I have a 1.2 GHZ AMD Athlon, with an external USR V-Everything modem. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
