I'm trying to help someone else get Mandrake to work, and she is having a
problem with her PPP connection.
Basically, her modem seems to work fine, and apparently she can connect fine to
her ISP without any trouble. However, she cannot connect to anything else (or
at least not receive any transmitted data from anything else). For example if
she tries to retrieve a webpage with Netscape, she gets to the 'contacted host,
waiting for reply' (or something like that) message and then gets nothing else.
Results are similar with other programs (like telnet).
Does anyone know what would cause this, and how to fix it?
Note: During the install LILO failed to install in her MBR, and the boot
disk creation failed also, so I have her using loadlin to boot Linux... but
otherwise her installation seems fine.
