Can the modem run a self test on the connection between it and optus, I have a DSL-504 and on the web interface there is a self test that checks line quality, ppp and ping. See if you have something similar or report back on what type of modem you are using. 2. Is the machine physically connected to the network? 3. Can the machine ping the modem. 4. Can the machine ping mail.optusnet.com.au I suspect one of the above will fail. If they all pass then Optus suck because they will not help you diagnose the problem when you are running Linux. If it comes to Optus diagnosis, I have heard from a friend of a friend of a friend that you can just tell the help desk that you are using windows, as long as you know the equivalent Linux answers to their questions. - dsw -------------------------------------------------- Darren Williams <dsw AT gelato.unsw.edu.au> [EMAIL PROTECTED] <www.gelato.unsw.edu.au> -------------------------------------------------- -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
