Thank you Bob for answering
I'm getting better at networking. I got them talking at least and can break
the connection and reconnect them. I had the gateway already in like you had.
I had also put in network 192.168.0.0 . I was playing around with route and
found out what that does. I wasn't able to connect to the net for a while
and now I know what that does. when I conect to the internet with dialup if
I run ifconfig there is a ppp0 which is the default gateway and has the ip
address I get assigned. Which sounds correct. Here's the configuration.
Could it be ipchains? However that looks good. All I want to do is connect
Boyle to the internet thru Tesla. I was just thinking should the gateway be
ppp0. Can I put ppp0 in /etc/network/interfaces ie.
gateway ppp0
I notice when I connect, route has
default 1atwdialup.famv 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0
I'm just guessing here.
This is the machine connected to the internet
