Can't get KPPP to work for dial-up Internet connection...
in [Linux Networking]

From: ANTant on 1 Feb 2005 05:15 Hello! I am trying to get my dial-up Internet connection working since I currently do not have broadband service (used to). I am using KDE v3.3.1's KPPP to set up my dial-up Internet connection with EarthLink (ELN) in Debian v3.1 (sort of outdated by a few weeks). I am a newbie to Linux, so I might be missing or overlooking something. DNS is automatic since I want ELN to provide the information automatically. I can connect, but I cannot get anywhere on the Internet. /etc/resolv.conf seems to be updating correctly with domain earthlink.net and nameservers (207.69.188.187 and 207.69.188.186) when I am online.

Please check the output of route to verify. If you don't use eth0 to access the internet, you can either change your routing for eth0 manually (/etc/network/interfaces, remove the hateway line and add "up /sbin/route whateveryouneed"), or you can set the option "replacedefaultroute" in /etc/ppp/options. This solution will change the default route to the ppp0 device when if comes up, and go back to the previous settings when you disconnect. best regards Andreas Janssen -- Andreas Janssen <andreas.janssen(a)bigfoot.com> PGP-Key-ID: 0xDC801674 ICQ #17079270 Registered Linux User #267976 http://www.andreas-janssen.de/debian-tipps-sarge.html

I would like to keep that IP address so I don't have to keep figuring out what IP address I am.

I do not want to lose 192.168.0.220 IP. I don't mind losing it when I am online. I wonder if there is a way to keep both like in Windows? -- "An anthill increases by accumulation. / Medicine is consumed by distribution. / That which is feared lessens by association. / This is the thing to understand." --Siddha Nagarjuna /\___/\ / /\ /\ \ Ant @ The Ant Farm: http://antfarm.ma.cx | |o o| | Ant's Quality Foraged Links: http://aqfl.net \ _ / Please remove ANT if replying by e-mail.
