Tell us _exactly_ what you did and _exactly_ what happened. Try 'ping www.debian.org' and 'ping 192.25.206.10'. > I "su" in to "pon" my provider... You wouldn't need to do that if you had added your non-root user as a ppp user. In pppconfig do 'Change->->Provider->Advanced->Add User' and follow instructions. > ...but can't "poff" without changing into the /usr/sbin/ directory and > intitating the command there. Looks like 'poff' is in /usr/sbin (it should be in /usr/bin) and PATH is not correct. > I am wondering if it may have something to do with DHCP that was setup > during the install. No, but why was DHCP set up? Do you need it? It has nothing to do with dialup. > How do I change it to a static IP address and try it that way? Pppd takes care of its own IP numbers.
