Re: PPP Internet Connection Not Working
Don,
I don't have an ethernet card or LAN, but I did notice that if I shut down
Linux and then start up again, I get a message saying:
wwwoffle in autodial mode
also:
PPP: version 2.3.7 (demand dialling)
The default route:
debian:/home/peter# route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.0.2 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.255 UH 1 0 0 tap0
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 0 tap0
only appears if I shut down and restart LInux. Restarting KDE does not have
this effect.
I noticed in man for diald:
Routes for the proxy link should have "0.0.0.0" as the gateway.
Is this a clue that diald is responsible?

I connect to the internet with "pon," and would prefer not to have any
program dial in automatically.
If, as you suggested, diald is causing this problem, I would like to remove
it safely, but do not know how. Would this be through apt-get remove? I am
very new to Linux, so have not done this before.
Thanks,
Peter Christensen
