Hi there I am completely new to Linux having just loaded on ubuntu to give it a try. I am, therefore, a complete novice with this system and trying to find my way around in a somewhat bewildered state!
The first problem is to try and get my Sppedtouch modem working so I can get online. I have followed the advice given, but the modem is not working. I have ended up with the following observations and wondered if someone can advise me further: Secrets I created both chap-secrets and pap-secrets, which were subsequently copied to /etc/ppp as instructed. These files seem to be protected and show with a padlock and a red cross sign on them, presumably restricting access. Does this need to be changed? Configuration file This made created as instructed and copied to /etc/ppp/peers. The file is marked with a red cross - do I need to do anything to change permissions on thi file? Bootscript * dial appears to have been copied to /etc/init.d correctly * S95dial appears to be copiedOK to etc/rc2.d * resolve.conf is present in /etc, with a blue arrow (presumably a link) and a red cross (presumably restricted access). Does the latter need to be changed? However, there is no resolv.conf file in /ppp, just an empty folder named resolv. It appears something is not quite right here but I cannot put my finger on it. Any comments, please?? I presume from the article that the modem should spring into life and that I should automatically be connected when the computer boots up. Is this correct? Do I need to do any configuration using kppp? Thanks for any help forthcoming. Roger. _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live Messenger has arrived.
