I've had better luck with the open source driver from: <http://benoit.papillault.free.fr/speedtouch/index.en.php3>. <shameless plug> If you want, I've built an rpm that is available at: <http://rhcontrib.bero.org/details.php?rpm=RPMS/i386/speedtouch-20010914-11 .i386.rpm>, but it will require you to have a Red Hat kernel (no alcatel patches) installed and the line you added to /etc/hotplug/usb.usermap removed otherwise both drivers will get in each other's way. I'd be happy to hear feedback. Be sure to read and follow the instructions visible by typing 'rpm -qip speedtouch-20010914-11.i386.rpm' </shameless plug> [...] > pppd[1070]: local IP address 65.83.193.151 > pppd[1070]: remote IP address 65.83.193.1 > pppd[1070]: primary DNS address 205.152.37.254 > pppd[1070]: secondary DNS address 205.152.0.20 Check if /etc/resolv.conf contains these two DNS. Try to ping 65.83.193.1 (the IP of the server you connect to, and 216.136.171.204 (www.linux-usb.org), if that works you have a DNS problem. IIRC the line 'usepeerdns' should be in your peers file (in /etc/ppp/peers/) Check with 'ipchains -L' (or' iptables -L' if you are using netfilter) that there are no firewall rules that prevent you from sending/receiving traffic.
