Thanks to everyone who helped me before!... Now I have a somewhat more complicated looking problem. :(.
I'm trying to dial into my ISP using PPP. (At this point I haven't done any extra configuration besides network config info that the debian setup asks for). In X, I startup minicom, dial, and login manually. It then tells me that it has started PPP and to start my PPP, whereupon it starts displaying the usual garbage. I open a bash term and type pppd, and it starts displaying its garbage. I open another bash term, and try to ping my ISP's domain server, and it tells me that the network is unreachable. :(. Afew seconds later, minicom hungup. My ppp.log says Dec 24 22:56:58 jade pppd[325]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Dec 24 22:56:58 jade pppd[325]: Using interface ppp0 Dec 24 22:56:58 jade pppd[325]: Connect: ppp0 <--> /dev/ttyp2 Dec 24 22:57:28 jade pppd[325]: LCP: timeout sending Config-Requests Dec 24 22:57:28 jade pppd[325]: Connection terminated. Dec 24 22:57:28 jade pppd[325]: Receive serial link is not 8-bit clean: Dec 24 22:57:28 jade pppd[325]: Problem: nothing was received Dec 24 22:57:28 jade pppd[325]: Exit. So, then I follow the configuration instructions in section 6 (Network Installation) of the Debian Users Guide. Putting... (Most of which was there already). /etc/hosts 127.0.0.1 jade /etc/resolv.conf domain cablenett.net search cablenett.net nameserver 196.3.144.2 nameserver 196.3.144.3 /etc/host.conf order hosts,bind multi on /etc/ppp/options debug /dev/ttyS0 38400 modem crtscts lock connect /etc/ppp/ppp-connect asyncmap 0 defaultroute Then I try again, going through the same process as described before. This time, my PPP doesn't output anything, pinging the DNS server's IP still generates a network unreachable message, I still get hungup, and the PPP log also says: Dec 24 23:10:28 jade pppd[350]: pppd 2.2.0 started by root, uid 0 Dec 24 23:10:28 jade pppd[350]: Device ttyS0 is locked by pid 321 Dec 24 23:10:28 jade pppd[350]: Exit. Something is really weird because, previously, I was using RedHat for a while and the same stuff with network unreachable messages and getting hungup would happen. :(. Can anyone help me?
