Re: PPP connection
Hi,
are you sure you want to do an install over your telephone line? I have no
experience with this, but have you provided nameservers? (see
/etc/resolv.conf for it).
Can you ping/telnet when manually starting up ppp (with: pon <pppname>)?
What do the logs say? For example, do on one terminal
tail -f /var/log/syslog
and try again.
Greetz,
Sebastiaan

It asks to configure PPP, which I have done, and it then goes off and dials the modem and seemingly connects succesfully. However, when it then goes to test the connection, nothing appears to happen. I have set the options to UK, and it asks for FTP or HTTP connections, but neither option appears to do anything - not even flash the TX/RX lights on the modem. What have I overlooked?
