Re: Re. Total Confusion
I really don't think it's a BIOS issue, particularly since you can dial up
using other OSes. I"ve asked the following several times and you haven't
responded; I'll ask once more, then shut up, assuming that non-response
means you're not interested in following through.
- What's the output of lsmod?
- Once you connect, what's the output of:
ipchains -a
route -n
nslookup www.debian.org
ping -c5 198.186.203.20
traceroute 198.186.203.20
