Re: Configuring ISP Support Using 'pppconfig'
with the following commands you should be able to diagnose the most
common problems
ifconfig ppp0 Check if your interface is set up correctly
route check where the 'default' route goes, most likely
it should point to ppp0 (if it takes too long add -n)
ping your_isp if you don't know any names for your isp that
reply to ping.. use the P-t-P address from
ifconfig
those should make it a bit clearer where the problem is...
if there isn't any default route you should add it.. (or make ppp add it)
by 'route add default dev ppp0' or add defaultroute to /etc/ppp/options
i hope this solves your problems...
