There are several ways to set up your Internet connection. If you are
connecting to an ISP using a modem, the correct way is to use pppd. You can do
this in KDE with KPPP, or from anywhere with linuxconf. I think that using
netcfg does not set up the point-to-point protocol required to use the internet
(not really sure on this). I just know what has worked for me.
Hope this helps,

and my computer goes through the motions of connecting to my ISP. They seem to
connect because I can see the the send and receive indicators blinking on my
external modem. When I try to run Netscape I get a server error and it also
tells me that there is a problem with the name server, and that I need to set
the $SOCKS_NS variable to point to the server. Also, when I ping my network it
says "network unreachable". Have I missed some easy connection to get it all
running? Any help would be greatly appreciated. | |
