Very Computer

Hi everybody, I've been trying to set up a PPP connection for the past
couple of weeks
but I'm not going anywhere.
I think I read all the docs 10 times, but I still don't know how to fix
the problem.

I'm using a RedHat 5.0 on a pentium II

To get the connection running I use ezppp.

For those who want to help me I included the output of "ifconfig",
"ping" and "route -n"

I would *REALLY* appreciate any help.

Thanks in advance

Giovanni

You ask for help, and then you make your helper go to extra trouble to
supply you with that help. That is at best rude, and at worst stupid,
since many will refuse to supply help under those conditions.

You seem to have no default route set up. This means that your machine
does not know where to send anyting to
Run pppd with the defaultroute option (eg put it into /etc/ppp/options)

Why in the world are you running named and gated. They are not only not
needed but can interfer with proper operation. Do not start them in rc.d
(Ie, change all the Sxxgated to Kxxgated in /etc/rc.d/rc#.d
where the xx is a number and $ is a number from 1 to 6)

Are you sure that the other side knowns where you are?

shouldnt contribute their nastiness to newsgroups
