Looks like your machine obtains all the info needed. So, your router should be on:
What happens when you enter this in your browser?

Exactly what I was going to suggest. It looks like the default route (gateway) should be 10.0.0.2 and should be set automatically for you from the DHCP server. Try cat /etc/resolv.conf and report the results here. You may not have DNS info set up.

Sorry if I didn't explain it well. I have entered that 10.0.0.2 into my browser, and that's when the router/modem's webpage(?) pops up and it gives me dial-up options on the left pane (to set the phone # to dial, my user name, password, quick-connect, redial on WAN, etc), and in the main pane, it has the status of the connection and a 'connect' or 'disconnect' button. When I get all my info entered and it saves it to the flash in the router and it reboots, I click on the 'connect' button, and I'll hear it dial, but I keep getting an 'connection error' (no logs to look at though unfortunately). I've installed dhcp, dhcpd, and rp-pppoe on my system, but have no clue what to do with them. Here's the info you asked for: me@linux:~> cat /etc/resolv.conf ### BEGIN INFO # # Modified_by: dhcpcd # Backup: /etc/resolv.conf.saved.by.dhcpcd.eth0 # Process: dhcpcd # Process_id: 4081 # Script: /sbin/modify_resolvconf # Saveto: # Info: This is a temporary resolv.conf created by service dhcpcd. # The previous file has been saved and will be restored later. # # If you don't like your resolv.conf to be changed, you # can set MODIFY_{RESOLV,NAMED}_CONF_DYNAMICALLY=no. This # variables are placed in /etc/sysconfig/network/config. # # You can also configure service dhcpcd not to modify it. # # If you don't like dhcpcd to change your nameserver # settings # then either set DHCLIENT_MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF=no # in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp, or # set MODIFY_RESOLV_CONF_DYNAMICALLY=no in # /etc/sysconfig/network/config or (manually) use dhcpcd # with -R. If you only want to keep your searchlist, set # DHCLIENT_KEEP_SEARCHLIST=yes in /etc/sysconfig/network/dhcp or # (manually) use the -K option. # ### END INFO domain site nameserver 10.0.0.2 That's all that shows up. Am I perhaps supposed to start something? Like dhcpd or something? If so, how? This is so frustrating, and I know its not Linux' fault, it's just that I get far too easily confused with this networking stuff, but I really do appreciate your and Sunny's help with this. John
