I have problem connecting to my ISP. I am new to debian having used (mostly) Red Hat; I am using 5.2 with exmh and sendmail to generate this. The problem stems from trying to set up a gateway between my local network (via eth0) and the Internet ppp0 i.e. this computer has two names and two i/p addresses.
dialing out (e.g. using pon) connects ok to my ISP and negotiates PPP but fails after that. The log says: using interface ppp0 connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyS1 not replacing existing default route to sl0 [0.0.0.0] cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP local i/p address <my static ISP address> remote i/p address <ISP gateway address> terminating on signal 15 The reference to sl0 is presumably diald. Could anybody give my a pointer please.
