[aclug-L] PPProblems

[Wayne White <wwhite@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Well, I've tried everything I can think of to get connected
to Southwind without success, so, I come here looking for 
help.

After following the instructions on the ACLUG site, when I 
envoke the command 'pppd ttyS3 115200' the computer dials
SW, there is some screaching back and forth, and it enters
into a state of apparent connection. However, it is not 
possible to do anything through the connection. Attempts to
connect to anyplace on the net results in error messages 
of 'Unknown host' or 'Network is unreachable' or 'Host 
name lookup failure'. I've double checked the pap-secrets,
options, and southwind.chat files and they are as the 
instructions indicate they should be. I realize it's 
probably something I'm overlooking, but what? Oh, and the
/etc/resolv.conf file has the two nameservers in it per
the instructions.

Thanx for the help,

Wayne
