can you ping via an IP ie 203.2.192.124 if not then it's a default route problem...
netstat -rn check that your routes OK... also make sure your firewall isn't blocking anything... then when the pings work.. start checking more stuff thanks, George Vieira Systems Manager Citadel Computer Systems P/L http://www.citadelcomputer.com.au -----Original Message----- From: Michael Kraus [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, January 21 2002 12:58 PM To: Michael Kraus; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [SLUG] configuring PPP under Debian. G'day again... Thanks to George Vieira and Jamie Wilkinson for their answers. However, I've still had no success. :( I'm working from the release that came with "the advanced linux pocketbook". The install is really fresh. 'pppconfig' has been used to configure the connections, and pon/poff to connect/disconnect. 'route' things as expected, as does 'tail /var/log/messages' (including primary and secondary nameservers listed.) bind is installed. (No further configuration made.) 'ftp ftp.debian.org' results in: ftp: ftp.debain.org: Host name lookup failure What is going on? This is a fresh install. Have I inadvertedly deleted or modified something I shouldn't? (Ie. should I try reinstalling?) I'm under time pressure, as I'm doing the work for a non-profit organisation, and their system is down whilst I'm doing the work. Many thanks!
