debs, pon used to work until i downloaded lots of files from the site and then installed wvdial, which seems to start the pppd. i switch tty's and ping the isp. nothing happens.
here's /var/log/ppp.log: pppd 2.3.5 started by root, uid 0 using interface ppp0 cannot determine ethernet address for proxy arp local ip address 208.205.225.177 remote ip address 207.204.247.206 1. what is wvdial supposed to do or look like after the pppd starts?; (or, what do need to do to connect to my isp?); 2. why would wvdial "disable" pon?; 3. is there a log for pon (or does /var/log/ppp.log only apply to wvdial)? 4. in the ppp.log, the remote ip address is foreign to me. ...never heard of it. my isp ip addy is 207.76.102.250. so, how do i change 207.204.247.206 to 207.76.102.250? a. in what file is the "remote ip address" being stored? ia, t. bentley taylor. //
