I read the faq and the handbook and followed all the settings. When I connect it switches to packet mode and I shell out but cannot do anything. Ping, telnet, or ftp. Here are the following settings: nameserver 204.118.1.2 In the host.conf file or whatever the hb says, I am not in front of it now sysconfig has the gateway 204.118.1.1 and netmask 255.255.255.0 The name of the gateway is scratchy.itsnet.com which is what I put. The name of the nameserver is itchy.itsnet.com My ISP assigns dynamic addresses using a different router (I think) called homer at 204.118.1.3 in the ppp.conf file I disable pred1, vjcomp and others, I have tried disableing all as well I also have the line ifaddr 0 0. I currently have nothing in the ppp.linkup because according to the hb i need the following x.x.x.x: add 0 0 HISADDR where x.x.x.x is my ip. but since it is dynamic I do not know that so I type this line after connecting and switched back to packet mode When logging in, I load my provider, use term to call and log in, then type the above add 0 0 HISADDR Everything looks ok, it just doesn't work Does anyone know what could be wrong? I really appreciate anyone who would take the time to read and reply via e-mail. Thanks
