There you can get the information about the files you need to configure (incl. /etc/hosts, /etc/networks, ...), and other information, e.g. configuration of mail and news software.
You will find it really helpful. You can get it from sunsite.unc.edu (and its mirrors) in pub/Linux/docs/LDP/ among other useful books. If you can't get it (because your connection is totally down), I can mail it to you (or the relevant chapters). But be aware, that the total file is very big (338048 Bytes: nag-1.0.html.tar.gz), there are other formats, ascii and ps also, but they are not good for online reading. Hope you can cope with your trouble, Marcus. p.s.: if you want to share, mail me. I am trying to build up the same connection like you (stand alone machine to ISP via PPP)
