Well, I'd say you're getting a network unreachable error because there
is nothing at the ip 123.123.123.123. Try pinging something like
debian.org instead. If that doesn't work I don't really know enough
about PPP to help, sorry.
And, please, watch the language.

Hello -
If I am posting to the wrong list, please tell me where to go.
I just installed potato via floppies and am now trying to connect to my isp
to download the rest of the debian os.
I used pppconfig to enter the info and create the files. Then I type 'pon'
and there are no error messages. Then I try to ping 123.123.123.123 (I don't
konw how else to test the connection) and it says something like the
"network is unreachable".
Am I forgetting a step?
Thanks so much in advance if anyone can shed some light. I'm so frustrated
with Linux right now. I love what it is about, but I'm f*cking clueless and
I don't know where to go.
Thanks again --
Hans
