Andrew Perrin asked:
- What's the output of lsmod?
nls_cp437
lp
parport_pc
unix
Although ppp is not here, when I type insmod ppp, the response is that I
already have the newest version.
- Once you connect, what's the output of:
I can only use wvdial since pon won't work even though ppp is
installed. pppconfig works which should be further proof that ppp is installed.
With wvdial, I do not stay connected long enough to run any of
your tests. The relevant sequence is:
CONNECT
Carrier Detected
Waiting for prompt
(line of meaningless symbols)
Don't know what to do
Starting ppp daemon
ppp daemon has died
Even though I can't stay connected, I tried ipchains -a. The response was
"invalid option".
Then I tried route -n and got column headings with no entries.
Your following suggestions would obviously not work when I am not connected.
ipchains -a
route -n
nslookup www.debian.org
ping -c5 198.186.203.20
traceroute 198.186.203.20
The reason that I have not been responsive is not that I don't appreciate
your help, but as you can see, I cannot make anything work the way that you
seem to expect.
