I took option Two, the easy route to reconfigure diald.
I read the first page and took it's good advice
The plog ( I beleive ) showed me the primary dns and secondary dns Thanks!
I ran pon to connect. The output of the ifconfig then was:
lo Local Loopback
ppp0 Point-to-Point Protocol
tap0 Ethernet
The interesting bit was the ethernet rx=0 but the tx=118
lynx wouldn't connect to anything.
I could ping my ppp0 assigned ip
I could not ping the Compaq upstairs. From upstairs I could not ping the
Modem box.
However no annoying DENY messages when I was pinging.
I did get deny message from an ip that was not mine.
I did not set DTK to destination: 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 device:
eth0
That would be done by
1. ifdown -a
2. ifconfig eth0 192.168.0.0 netmask 255.255.255.0
Right?
Now do I work on the ...... ?
A.) the line above
B.) shutting off the services I don't need yet?
C.) ipmasq
D.) reading and re-reading the ipmasq manual
BTW How would I test that all it is working anyway?
Thank you,
