[Newbie] ppp: Connection established, but can't ping. How can I get out into Internet?
Dear all,
I'm on Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 (Woody) and stuck in the middle:
I exec "pon VOL" and get a connection, but no pings do return (100% loss).
As a connection has been estblished, I guess the several config files are
okay. Therefore I've pasted the output of "netstat -nr", "route", and
"ifconf ppp0", shown while the connection is established.
As I come from an OS, where one can configure an Internet connection with a
few clicks and get into the Internet with two more clicks (did I already
say, I'm a newbie? :-)), it's beyond me to fully recognize all the content
of those lines. My Linux box' address is 192.168.200.101. This leads me to
find the lines
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 U 0 0 0 sl0
and
default * 0.0.0.0 U 1 0 0 sl0
kind of strange. But, please, see for yourselves:
netstat -nr

So, what am I missing? Do I have to add or change a default route or
something like that?
Kind regards
Franz GEIGER, lookin' for kind helping hands.
