I am trying to get a friend's Potato R3 install to connect to his ISP so we can download and install a version of X that will work. I ran pppconfig and entered the information correctly, but pppon fails to connect. I set up wvdial and ran it. It will connect and even get an IP address for the ppp connection, but I cannot reach any outside boxes. Unfortunately I've never set a Debian box up using a modem before, so I'm stumped about what to do next. Any ideas?
The ISP is earthlink. The modem is a USR v.Everything Courrier External on ttyS0. Thanks.
