Hello,
I have a problem getting my dial-up internet connection to work.
Your help would be appreciated.
I cant get net connection from netscape, when using Debian,
due to 'host unreachable'.
Running netscape from windows shows that provider is ok.
The ppp link through my external modem seems ok,
but pings i send to my provider (from xterm+bash)
dont seem to make it back to bash,
although lights on modem seem to indicate that every ping is answered
promptly,
and /var/log/debug says that too.
after executing pon, as user siward, connection is made,
and ifconfig (executed as root) says :
Si:/my# ifconfig
lo Link encap:Local Loopback

route seems to be missing an entry for loopback device,
but i dont know wether it needs that :
Si:/my# route -n

I can ping localhost, but pinging 193.172.249.23 is not successfull :

Although ppp0 seems to be set up correctly, netstat says i dont have a

so, as you can see, i dont know too much about it,
and probably fucked up the system settings myself.
I did get it working yesterday though,
browsed the net with netscape, got mail in, and played with sirc,
after which correct configuration was nonexistant again.
If only i knew how i did that...
hoping you will be so kind to help,
greetings,
Siward.
