Actually that means it is not online, note the "Local Loopback" in the
first line.
this is the interface you are looking for:
ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol
inet addr:155.212.217.54 P-t-P:155.212.110.200 Mask:255.255.255.255
UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1524 Metric:1
RX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:11 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:10
(if your using a modem and dial-up connection) to get this
unambiguously do:
/sbin/ifconfig ppp0
Do you hear your modem dialing?
as root do: `plog`, what does it say?
HTH,
jon
