i'm going to give this another shot, and this time i'll try to be as informative as possible. all i'm tying to do is activate and de-activate my PPP link from the command line. i'm using linuxconf 1.13r12-1. i configured a PPP link by selecting PPP/SLIP/PLIP under the "Routing and gateways" menu. all i had to specify was 1) phone number for ISP 2) device (/dev/modem) 3) login name for ISP 4) password for 3) that's it. at no time was i prompted for a profile name, config name or any other name, which seems to be where all the confusion is coming from. people have been telling me to use # netconf --connect <config-name> but, to my knowledge, there is no "config-name" i ever had to supply. i can activate and de-activate PPP just fine from linuxconf with "Control PPP/SLIP/PLIP links." no problem. but i'm still looking for the command line analogue for this, and anything involving a reference to a config name is not going to work. am i missing something embarrassingly obvious? thanks. rday --- You are currently subscribed to linuxconf as: [[email protected]] To unsubscribe, forward this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
