Re: [Newbie] ppp: Connection established, but can't ping. How can I get out into Internet?
I had a similar problem, When I set up the machine I
had a Ethernet card that was autodetected, and the
the autodetection set up the ethernet card as the default
gateway to the internet. While your ethernet is the default
gateway the dialup won't establish itself as a gateway. Try to
remove the gateway status of your ethernet card, and things should work.
It took me a few googles on Linux networking and I found this, but if
you can't find a good webpage post a reply, and I will actually start up my
old windows partition and see if I can find the webpage that clued me in.
Good luck,
