Dear Steve Thanks for your comments, When I start to add a new hardware (Modem Connection) It wants me to set a provider for it, I don't know what i must do? I select randomly the one, then i select my IP both manually and automatically, but in both ways when i want to activate the device it makes some error, Could you please help me about?

On a machine, the ppp network interface requires an IP address. There are various ways of assigning that address. One way is to specifically assigned the IP address, which is what the above command is doing. You would replace "" with the IP address that the interface should have, such as "192.168.1.1". PPP also allows one side of the connection to provide the IP address to the other side of the connection, this is the in your command. So this would be an IP address, such as "192.168.1.2" that would be provided to the remote machine (the machine on the other end of the serial cable/modem connection). There is a LOT of PPP configuration information available on the web. I'd probably start with the PPP HOWTO that can be found at . There are many, many ways to configure a PPP connection depending upon what you are trying to do, and this HOWTO explains an awful lot of that. _______________________________________________ uClinux-dev mailing list uClinux-dev@uclinux.org http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/listinfo/uclinux-dev This message was resent by uclinux-dev@uclinux.org To unsubscribe see: http://mailman.uclinux.org/mailman/options/uclinux-dev --------------------------------- Yahoo! oneSearch: Finally, mobile search that gives answers, not web links.
