Hello, I apologize for my delayed reply, I posted a question approx. one month ago, but did not find time to proceed, here is my reply:
(the problem was, that I am working on two networks and when I tried to connect via modem, it shows up as connected but without ping results) [copy of the last mail in the archive:] >also sprach Martin Wegmann <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [2003.10.07.1448 +0200]: > >[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ /sbin/route -n > >Kernel IP routing table > >Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface > >145.253.1.121 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 > >10.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 > >0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0 >> [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/$ ping -c 2 www.yahoo.com >your problem is here. the last entry should be the default route to >the provider. >does your /etc/ppp/peers/provider file contain the 'defaultroute' >option? yes it shows up with the defaultroute option. # These are the options to dial out to your default service provider. # Please customize them correctly.
