Hi, I am trying to help my father install gentoo on a new computer (I am across the ocean). We have a problem with the internet connection. He has an adsl account. He runs pppoe-start, and it says that he is connected. ifconfig shows that ppp0 is up, and gives an ip address. However, I can't ping that address (I get 100% packet loss). He also can't ping any address.
We called the ISP, and from their side it seems that he is connected, and everything is fine. I don't know where else to look. The log messages showed in the beginning messages of the form LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests but they seem to no longer appear. As I said, I don't even know where to start looking for the problem. Any help is appreciated. Thank you, Moshe
