Hi Folks -
I recently installed egcs on my linux box and recompiled some software
among them ppp. I am having problems connecting to the internet. I am
able to dial my ISP and the system makes a connection but I can't ping
anyone (not even my nameservers) and I can't telnet anywhere. Here is a
sample output from my /var/log/messages file:

I just thought of something. I think my box is routing everything to eth0
which at the moment is not connected to anything. Hmm. I have to go back
and fiddle with the network configuration system. Meanwhile could some of
you folks help me out with this? Another thing I want to know is how to
stop the kernel from looking for those modules net-pf-4[5].
Thanks....
