How to make a DSL Internet Connectioo?
My system is Woody with a 2.4.18 kernel built with internet support for
National Semiconductor DP8381x series PCI internet support and a Netgear
FA311 PCI adapter is installed. The adapter is connected to a Linksys
router which is connected to a DSL modem.
The connections were tested with Windows 98 and there was no problem
connecting to the internet.
In Woody I have edited /etc/ppp/pap-secrets and
/etc/ppp/peers/dsl-provider to enter the user, provider and password
information. ifconfig eth0 reports the device up. dmesg | grep -A 5
eth reports a negotiated connection.
Still, I am unable to access the internet - i.e. apt-get update fails,
in mozilla www.debian.org is unknown, etc.
I know I have missed something basic, but what?
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions or guidance.
