You could have a good connection, but it your system would be unable to resolve host names to numerical addresses unless you had nameserver access set up correctly. Try to ping a well known host by name. If that doesnt work, try by numerical address. If you can ping by numerical address, but not by name, your name service is prolly misconfigured. > I used the default connection options, and dselect simply > wrote: "failed". > What's next? 2) What could be the problem? To see what your chat script did, and what your ppp server said back, look at /usr/adm/ppp.log This location valid for bo, I dont know about hamm. > I would like to get most of the standard packages, if not > through debian, than by windoz'ing, > but, 3) where, appart from dselect, I can find the list of > the standard packages, or to know which > packs are standard (using more than newbie educated guessing > mechanism...) > You can see the package decriptions on the website.
