Does anything standout to anyone.
After connection my local IP is 209.142.128.xxx and my remote IP is
209.142.128.5.
I have added the dns servers to the resolv.conf file. I can ping my local
address 209.142.128.xxx but I get nothing back when I try to ping
209.142.128.5. I see the send light on my external modem blink but I don't
see the receive light blink.
    This computer works fine using PPP in windows 98.

Thanks

:     I seem to be having a problem getting PPP setup. I installed a fresh
: copy of mandrake 6.0 on a Pentium with a modem and a linksys 100mb network
: card. I have read all the howto's and reinstalled mandrake with these
: results. I can get connected every time and ping my local IP but can't ping
: my gateway. I have run route before the connection and after and here is
: what it looks like.

The PPP interface configuration and routing were correct.

This reply is a little late, but check to make sure that pppd has the
crtscts option and that the modem profile has hardware flow control
(RTS/CTS) enabled with &K3 .
