Thank you for replying to my querry.
I do not know what an internal and external IP addresss, but I did a ping
0.0.0.0 which works. When I try to connect, I am assigned an IP address, to
which if I ping, then it works. Only when I try some other pings eg. to vsnl's
202.54.10.1, I get : Network Unreachable.
I get this error message in my /var/log/messages saying:
Would these be the internal and external IP addresses ?
Feb 25 22:29:46 localhost modprobe: no dependency information for module:
"/dev/ttyS1"., about which I have written in a separate mail.
