Dear Debian (Linux) users, I installed Hamm today from my Win 95 partiton (hda1) onto my Linux partitions (hda2 /, and hda3 /usr, hda4 swap). I beleved that I set-up PPP correctly, following the procedure to not configure a network hook-up in the initial install and then followed the PPP setup utility once it rebooted (using the custom boot disk because I kept the DOS/Win95 boot sector). I selected no PAP or CHAP (my ISP says they don't use them) and setup my modem correctly typed in my username and password. Said yup everything looks okay. It started dialing to my surprise (hey this is better than win95) but it said it couldn't find ftp.debian.org (the ftp site that I told it to goto in dselect). I then tried using ping to see if I could ping my name server (the only decimal-quad string I knew) and no packets got through. I then realized that I never had to input the address of the nameserver or my provider (excel.net). I decided to try a reinstall (it only took me 15 min) and setup PPP with PAP the default choice (maybe my ISP tech help was wrong?) but it still didn't work. Can anyone help me with this delema, what set-up do I have to do? I am hoping to install Hamm completely by FTP (perferibly without copying all the .deb files to my win95 partition). Thanks for any help you can give me.
