RE: TCP not working over ppp connection (WAS: 5th day using Linux...)
Ok, I have made outputs of the files that Tony and Andrew asked for. For
some reason wget would not dump to a file, so I will copy the output into
here.
Also note: because my laptop does not have a floppy drive, I reloaded same
version of Debian on my PC using a VIA motherboard with onboard PCMCIA
controller. I am still having the same issue (TCP traffic not going over
PPP).
The output of the files is located at http://www.up-times.com/tcp/

maybe I can help more. What do you mean by use TCP for itself? if its
routing tcp traffic, you should be done? I know, I know, wget doesn't work
etc. ummm...

Also, what about '/sbin/route -n'? Do you have more than
one interface? What's the output of '/sbin/ifconfig'
