Hello,
Just installed Debain today and was working on getting the PPP working.
I
have been following the HOWTO: on PPP Set up and everything was going fine
until I tried pinging. Haven't got any farther than that. Did get
everything else to that point. And I am stuck and the HOWTO didn't say
where to go for help. So I thought I would ask the guru's on here.
I am connected manually to my ISP and seems like everything is holding
fine. In the HOWTO it says to type "route -n" and I get the Gateway of
0.0.0.0 and Gen Mask of 255.255.255.255. Those numbers don't look right to me.
When I type "route add default" I get "SIOCADDRT: network is unreachable".
Then when I type "route add net" I get "net: net name lookup failure".
What have I done wrong. I set up the dummy loop back and had the ip address
of my machine to 127.0.0.1. But I know I have messed up something and was
wondering if there is a file I need to change to get this to work. I only
have a Dynamic Address when I log on to my ISP. So any help would be
greatly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
