Re: Dial up PPP
OK here's an update on this one. Hopfully not to many are thinking about
the last one. I got the modem to anser and conect with PPP. I had to
inter the IP in win95 before it would work. I then proseded to telnet the
the debian box. I loged in and had a victory dance. However I soon
discovered that I cannot conect to anything but the linux box itself. The
Box has an ethernet conection to the internet and I can't conect to it
through the box. Is theire something simple I have missed. Do I need to
install some kind of routing package? Do I need to modfyf something in
my dialup networking. Thanks again to all who helped.
