2. I finally managed to get my computer connected to my ISP under Linux
(ubuntu)  but despite a connection (dialup) I could not actually access
any address on the net, with either direct IP address or domain name.
Then after I installed FC3 I treid again and this time I got connected
and was able to connect to addresses on the net, but only for a few
minutes before everything came to a halt despite the connection still
being there. I checked /var/log/messages and there is the following extract:

This doesn't seem to indicate any errors, is there somewhere else I
should look? If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated,
before I go mad...



Can you ping the listed remote IP address when the conection comes up?

If you can, and you can't ping anything else, then do you have a default
route pointing out the PPP connection?


I can ping anything for a minute or so, or use browser or email but then it just stops sending/receiving

Try doing this {as root} once your connection is up

route add default gw <remote ip>


did that

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ppp]# /sbin/route add default gw 210.49.225.254
SIOCADDRT: File exists
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ppp]# /sbin/route
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
210.49.225.254 * 255.255.255.255 UH 0 0 0 ppp0
169.254.0.0 * 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 lo
default 210.49.225.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 ppp0


Then try to ping something else.


no luck, I get the following:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ppp]# ping -c3 216.55.97.142
PING 216.55.97.142 (216.55.97.142) 56(84) bytes of data.
