Re: ISDN Config - Default Gateway
Hi Gary,
I couldn't configure my isdn ( and not yet), so I builded
an isdn-router and now all goes like a charm.
No more troubles with any distribution :-)
Debian, Mandrake, FreeBSD, Redhat.

| Hi there, me again,
|
| I've gotten no response for my rather verbose plea for help. Hasn't
| anybody worked with ISDN or am I the only one to cock it up???
|
| In the meantime, I've checked to make sure the dynamic IP process using
| DHCP is working. dhclient is enabled with the ap_packet module. The
| ip-up script is receiving the local and remote IP addresses from the ISP
| and the nameserver addresses are also being fetched. I hacked the
| 00-ipppd script and netstat -r now shows the remote IP address as the
| the default gateway.
|
| Now everything seems to match the working connection on the SuSE system.
| However, I cannot connect to the www.debian.org site with Mozzilla even
| though I can ping it fine.
|
| I've sort of reached the end of the line here. Once again I'm asking for
| assistance. Obviously if I can't get the ISP connection working I'll be
| stuck as a SuSE user.
