Hi all !
I have been having problems with trying to make a ppp connection with vsnl. I
have a script which executes pppd and uses a chat script. I checked out the
/var/log/messages file, according to which the password, and connection is
made fine. I even have been allocated an IP address. Despite that a ping gives
a message saying: Network unreachable.
The error seems to be somthing about locating a module.
I do not know anything about the kernel and modules andstuff and am reasonably
new to linux.
The /var/log/messages is as follows.
