[ilug-cal] PPP connection resolved!!!

[Anurup Mitra]

Hi,     A big thank you to all those who wrote in to help. I'll report the things that I did. They do not follow any logical sequence because there is no such thing when a person is desperate! ;-) Anyway:   My /etc/ppp/options file had just two lines:   noauth lock   With this I could just ping my local and remote IP addresses and not my isp or either of its DNS servers. I added   defaultroute   After this when I tried to connect I couldn't connect at all.   Then I added   noipdefault   I could connect after this but couldn't ping to anything at all!   Then I searched the net and somwehere someone had a problem similar to mine and after looking at the solution given to him I added   asyncmap 0 crtscts connect   I have no clue so as to what I did. I do hope that to many of you who understand Linux this gives some insight no matter how small. As for me I am happy that I have a blazing fast net connection - at least compared to what Microsoft Windows used to give me. I have transfer rates of 3.5K and above with Linux...   Again a big thank you to everyone...   Anurup
