Re: Total confusion
It's quite impossible to dianose at this level - you've provided no
specific information.
- What happens when you try to print something to your printer?
- What filtering mechanism are you using for your
printer? magicfilter? Have you tried using magicfilterconf to set it up?
- What happens when you try to connect to the internet?
- What are the output of ifconfig, route -n, and traceroute before and
after you try to connect?
- What, if any, messages are in the logs?
- Have you read the printing HOWTO and the ISP-Hookup HOWTO and the PPP
HOWTO? At what point did your experience diverge from these?
