I've used unsuccessfully mandrake control center for a modem connexion.
the modem dial right and i have no more ppp time-out but i don't have
anything coming from outside. (for example using net_monitor)
using : ping www.netscape.com
i don't get any answer
the same does apply with : ping 205.188.247.66
here is my ifconfig output :
lo Lien encap:Boucle locale

route as startup is only lo :
Destination Passerelle Genmask Indic Metric Ref Use Iface
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
this changes when ppp0 is up :
Table de routage IP du noyau
Destination Passerelle Genmask Indic Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.xxx.xxx * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
127.0.0.0 * 255.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default * 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 ppp0
default 192.168.xxx.xxx 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
but ist does go back afetr each restart to lo only.
quiet some strange thing, to me, is in that when i do "killall pppd" this
starts a connection.
my resol.conf :
domain free.fr
search free.fr
nameserver 212.27.32.5
nameserver 212.27.32.6
any idae in order to get net connexion within mandrake-cooker ppc ?
