Ok I did the plog and I did see one entry that said "CCP: Timeout sending config-requests". But everything looked like it should as far as I could tell. I did see the local IP address had been changed to the IP address my ISP gave me and did see the remote IP address. So looked like that was all working. I think the problem is in the router section and I don't really know what to do. When I do the "route -n" I get: ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- kernal routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window Use Iface 204.47.44.4 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 1500 0 ppp0 127.0.0.1 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 3584 0 lo ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------- But in the HOWTO it says that I should have a "default" in this table, but I don't. When I do the "route add default" it says, "SIOCADDRT:Network is unreachable". And then when I do a "route add net" I get "Host Name lookup failure". I think this may be a problem when I installed debain. It asked me if I was connected to a network and I said "Yes" and gave the info provided by my ISP. Such as the DNS addresses and the default gateway info. But when I boot up I see the same SIOADDRT message. Should I reinstall? and answer no to being connected to a network. The installation docs were not very clear on this. Hopefully someone has had this problem before. I have checked the FAQ's and the Network HOWTOs but can't figure this one out. Again thanks for your help.
