This weekend I installed a base Debian system using the new installer. My only "problem" is after using pppconfig to setup my external modem it will activate the modem (dial and apparently connect) but I can't get apt-setup to connect to any sources to download programs. I "su" in to "pon" my provider, but can't "poff" without changing into the /usr/sbin/ directory and intitating the command there.
I am wondering if it may have something to do with DHCP that was setup during the install. How do I change it to a static IP address and try it that way? Have others experienced something similar? I will Google as time allows today, but I hope someone has some pointers to pass along. Thanks, Preston
