<PRE> Hi guys :) It's me again. I have trouble configuring access to the internet 1 - I read the manuals, I think I did :) 2 - I checked that PPP is in the kernel. what is happening is this : when I launch kppp as root: - It starts I defined an account . - It dials and connect . then If I do ping on a network address which I know is good ( 194.2.168.10 ) I got a network is unreachable the only host I can ping is Localhost. Of course I cannot ping a machine by it s name. If I do ps -x I have a line with diald and a lot of things after that !! does anyone have a clue on this one, thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
