Hi,
All my hard work in setting up our office network seems to be crumbling
before my eyes! I can't seem to connect anymore to my ISP. Here's what's
wrong:
I usually connect using an application called XISP. It dials up my ISP and
sets up a ppp connection. In its options I specified that this must be the
defaultroute. Under /etc/ppp/options I have only a lock option and nothing
else. Earlier this worked fine but now something I did in between seems to
be totally wrong.
XISP seems to connect well enough, after connecting and entering my login
sequence, if I run ifconfig I can see lo, eth0 & ppp0. Upto here everything
seems OK.
However after this all communication with ppp0 seems to stop. If I ping my
ISP, all the packets are lost. In fact by comparing the packets sent out by
first running ifconfig then pinging my ISP then ifconfig again, I see that
the pinging took place at eth0 instead of ppp0! This is inspite of the fact
that I set ppp0 to be defaultroute. As a last ditch effort I gave up XISP
and used a chat script (again with defaultroute set) but to no avail.
Can anyone help me?
