Can anyone help with suggestions on what to do to setup User PPP with the dynamic Ip's
my provider uses?
At the shell prompt as root I type: ppp, get the ppp prompt, type: set ifaddr 0 0, then
type: term, which brings me to my modem.
I dialout finewith the usual ATDTxxxxxxx, type in my username & password, see the usual
ppp garbage ({'s and so forth) the ppp prompt changes to PPP. I shell out, & netstat -r
shows the assigned ip's, but I can't ping a thing except localhost or my recently
assigned ip.
Eventually tun0 times out, and that's it.
