Hi Gary, I couldn't configure my isdn ( and not yet), so I builded an isdn-router and now all goes like a charm. No more troubles with any distribution :-) Debian, Mandrake, FreeBSD, Redhat. mess-mate

Hasn't | anybody worked with ISDN or am I the only one to cock it up??? | | In the meantime, I've checked to make sure the dynamic IP process using | DHCP is working. dhclient is enabled with the ap_packet module. The | ip-up script is receiving the local and remote IP addresses from the ISP | and the nameserver addresses are also being fetched. I hacked the | 00-ipppd script and netstat -r now shows the remote IP address as the | the default gateway. | | Now everything seems to match the working connection on the SuSE system. | However, I cannot connect to the www.debian.org site with Mozzilla even | though I can ping it fine. | | I've sort of reached the end of the line here. Once again I'm asking for | assistance. Obviously if I can't get the ISP connection working I'll be | stuck as a SuSE user. | | | | -- | To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] | with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
