I am only guessing: 1) How does it work on DOS/WIN (assuming that you have it installed) ? 2) I would try to change what might be relevant definitions in the BIOS and see what effects these changes might have. 3) Does the HD and the CD know that they supose to be master and slave respectively ?

The PPP-HOWTO is a good source, but there are some differences between it and the way debian assume the system is handling PPP connections. The debian way to handle PPP is with the PPP package. Take a look at /usr/doc/ppp/*, especialy at /usr/doc/ppp/README.debian.gz, to see how debian assumes

If Linux and Win95 are on different partitions of the same HD, I think that the Win95 installation forces the Win95 to be the active partition. Therefor, you might try to use fdisk from the DOS prompt in order to make the Linux partition active. First I have windows 95 system and I

You probably have an old BIOS. Old bios is known not to recognize HD over 528M, unless special measures, such as LBA, are incoperated. Besides, I think that DOS would not recognize a partition that is over 2.1G. I use Linux with a HD that the BIOS sees as LBA. Does all this BIOS/DOS problems
