I don't know which driver my modem uses but it's an US Robotics 56k model 3CP5610A and it used to work perfectly with the old kernel. I´m pretty sure that I'm connecting to my ISP. I'm using wvdial to connect and I can see all the messages (sending login, password, authentication, starting pppd, etc). It doesn´t seem to be a DNS problem since I´ve installed the testing ppp package and the ping still doesn´t work, nor the numerical address nor the named address. What could it be?
PS: I noticed that the new kernel is loading the ipv6 module, could it be the problem? ----- Original Message ----- From: Marvin Stodolsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Sat, 03 Apr 2004 18:42:48 -0500 To: Thomas Beresford <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: Dial up problems when upgrading 2.4 to 2.6 kernel > Which driver does your modem use? > Are you sure you actually CONNECT to the ISP > Compare: > # ping 30.57.4.70 > 64 bytes from 130.57.4.70: icmp_seq=0 ttl=48 time=239.2 ms > 64 bytes from 130.57.4.70: icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=240.0 ms > 64 bytes from 130.57.4.70: icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=230.0 ms > 64 bytes from 130.57.4.70: icmp_seq=3 ttl=48 time=230.0 ms > with the named address > # ping novell.com > If the numerical address works but not the named address, > Then it is only a DNS problem. > > You may need some PPP support files from the testing distribution for > DNS to work > Try rebooting under your old kernel. > Within /etc/apt/sources.list, make a duplicate of all lines. > Within the 2nd set, replace "stable" with "testing", for example > deb http://ftp.lug.udel.edu/debian/ stable main non-free contrib > goes to ==== > deb http://ftp.lug.udel.edu/debian/ testing main non-free contrib > Then > apt-get update > apt-get -s install ppp > (where -s is stimulate) > If nothing dangerous is shown > apt-get install ppp > > MarvS > > > > > > Thomas Beresford wrote: > > >Hello fellas, > > > >I upgraded my debian system kernel from 2.4 stable to 2.6 testing.
