Very Computer

I have no network at home, excepted the standard loopback device. I have set my domain name to brood.fr and my machine is called brood (just for fun, I liked to have my own machine),
I have tried to connect to my internet provider by dialup connections, using dip with a slip or ppp script. I even tried to configure pppd directly but in both case I can't hook. In fact, pppd connects itself, but does not add any entry to the route table, neither does dip.
Is it a French local problem ?
Could anyone help me, please, because I didn't find any other mail answering this question.
                                Thanks a lot ...

I doubt whether its your name etc. More likely a problem with your chat script.
Pppd usualy logs to /var/log/messages. First thing to do is to look there
for errors reported by pppd.
