I'm asking this for a friend:
she installed Mandrake 9.1, and dial-up worked ... well .. pretty much
(I was suprsied because I have never seen a dialup modem working with
linux)
Since the coming of "kppp" I've never known it not to work, providing the
modem is recognized.
So next time try that.
she was using kppp to connect ... cool app .. it connected, but the
network wasn't working
... thing is: it connects to the isp ... but any website one
tries to browse to ... it says 'could not reach host' .. or something
like htat .. so it actually connects, uses the password ... logs in ...
but then everythign is like if it were offline. Ideas please?
Probably the DNS is misconfigured.......for a dialup one doesn't have to
configure anything i.e. "loopback" is sufficient.
Peoples coming from Windows usually overdo things here, expecting
configuration to be some sort of black magic.
ummm .. so what should she do exactly? and where?
