My ISP, AT&T Worldnet, uses MS-CHAP authentication for PPP connnections. I downloaded a utility called eznet (http://www.hwaci.com/sw/eznet/= > ) that takes care of my authentication for me and works wonderfully. I can get connected to the Worldnet PPP server, and from what I can tell, I am indeed getting an IP assigned. However, I can't ping anything, not even the two domain name servers specified in /etc/resolv.conf. I copied the tail end of /var/log/message to a file on a shared partition. The output looks like this: ------begin /var/log/message------- Jun 13 10:35:14 geek login[131]: ROOT LOGIN on `tty1' Jun 13 10:41:54 geek kernel: PPP: version 2.2.0 (dynamic channel allocation) Jun 13 10:41:54 geek kernel: PPP Dynamic channel allocation code copyright 1995 Caldera, Inc.

"Jun 13 10:47:42 geek pppd[240]: ppp not replacing existing default route to sl0[127.0.0.2]" I've checked /etc/resolv.conf, and it looks like: -----begin /etc/resolv.conf------------ earch worldnet.att.net nameserver 204.127.129.1 nameserver 204.127.160.1 -----end /etc/resolv.conf------------- Likewise, /etc/hosts looks like this: (NOTE: Could this be the problem?) -----begin /etc/hosts------------------- 127.0.0.1 localhost -----end /etc/hosts--------------------- Finally, the /etc/HOSTNAME file looks lke: -----begin /etc/HOSTNAME------------ geek -----end /etc/HOSTNAME-------------- That's the bulk of it- if there's a kind soul that wants to help me, I'd appreciate it. If I'm not providing enough info, or if different info is needed, just let me know. One final "How do I?" question if you'll indulge me: Does Linux read the serial.rc file at boot time to assign IRQ's? I have an internal modem that "lives" on IRQ5. If I were to edit serial.rc to reflect that, will I be able to get out of doing a "setserial /dev/cua2 IRQ 5" every time I reboot? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
