New subject: Is PPP (server) supported under SLES9

21 Oct 2005

      Hi,

Thanks for the speedy reply, Bernd, and everyone else
who wrote back.

It appears, on closer inspection, that the problem
lies on the ISP end. (Linksys indicated an internet
connection, but there was no IP address assigned in
its firmware reports.) I found (less than a week after
installation) that even directly hooking up cable did
not work. On top of that, my wife (who watches much
more television than I do) complained of "snow" on
cable. They'll send someone out to troubleshoot/repair
the cable Tuesday next.

The moral (I hope) is: "Always do your 'idiot checks'
first!"

Nevertheless, it was reassuring to learn that things
were probably OK on my end as everything people
suggested I check on (e.g., nameserver in
/etc/resolv.conf) was there.

Thanks again!

Steve

Dump your cards configs, and set up your card from
scratch using Yast!  
I say this only because I have experienced countless
hours and days 
of pain trying to tweak something that is really
simple.
If you can figure it out with this, great!  If you
need details on it 
let me know.  I have a Linksys RT31P2 (wired with
phone ports) and a 
Linksys WRT54G (wireless) that is connected to the
wired router.  
Both are on different networks (15.1, 1.1), and both
router are set 
up by default to serve DHCP for the internet and the
network.  I also 
have setup in the past both eth and wlan cards on
these routers.
What I'm telling you is the simplest and fastest way
to get it done.  
You can tweak it later if you need to.
Bernd
