Dear all, I'm on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody) and stuck in the middle:
I exec "pon VOL" and get a connection, but no pings do return (100% loss). As a connection has been estblished, I guess the several config files are okay. Therefore I've pasted the output of "netstat -nr", "route", and "ifconf ppp0", shown while the connection is established. As I come from an OS, where one can configure an Internet connection with a few clicks and get into the Internet with two more clicks (did I already say, I'm a newbie? :-)), it's beyond me to fully recognize all the content of those lines. My Linux box' address is 192.168.200.101. This leads me to find the lines 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 sl0 and default * 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 0 sl0 kind of strange. But, please, see for yourselves: netstat -nr Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags MSS Window irtt Iface 194.183.133.58 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 sl0 192.168.200.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 sl0 route Kernel IP routing table Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface 194.183.133.58 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0 192.168.0.2 * 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0 sl0 192.168.200.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0 default * 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 0 sl0 ifconfig ppp0 ppp0 Link encap:Point-to-Point Protocol inet addr:194.208.126.37 P-t-P:194.183.133.58 Mask:255.255.255.255 UP POINTOPOINT RUNNING NOARP MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:14 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:13 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:10 RX bytes:425 (425.0 b) TX bytes:355 (355.0 b) So, what am I missing? Do I have to add or change a default route or something like that? Kind regards Franz GEIGER, lookin' for kind helping hands. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
