huh, but i don't have a static ip address, my providers gives me an other ip everytime i log on.. and i can access the net, but only by ips, not urls..

Then DHCP=yes.{Dynamic Host Control Protocol}

N_A_J_M. What does your /etc/ppp/ip-up say. Here's mine to save a little time.

#!/bin/sh
#
# This file /etc/ppp/ip-up is run by pppd when there's a
# successful ppp connection.
#
# Put any commands you want run after a successful connection
# in this file.
#
# Any commands you want printed to the screen should be directed
# to: >/dev/tty0
#
# Other commands should not be directed to: >/dev/tty0
#
# The companion file is /etc/ppp/ip-down, it's run when the PPP
# connection ends.
#
# This file is created when you run pppsetup: Sat Feb 1 17:11:44 CST 2003
#
# The environment is cleared before executing this script
# so the path must be reset.
#
PATH=/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin
export PATH

# This will print to the screen the local & remote IP address when you
# make a successful ppp connection. $4 = Local IP $5 = Remote IP
#
# The CARRIER speed at which you connected will be reported, if it's in
# the /var/log/messages file. You also need the programs "tail" "cut"
# "tr" "grep" and "syslogd" running for this to work.
# You may have to add S95=46 to your modem init string
# to get your modem to report the DCE = CARRIER speed.
# Example: AT&FS95=46

if [ -s /var/log/messages ] && ( ps xc 2>/dev/null | grep -q syslogd 2>/dev/null ); then
S=`tail -n 30 /var/log/messages 2>/dev/null | grep "CARRIER[^)]" 2>/dev/null | tr -d "^M" 2>/dev/null | cut -d: -f4 2>/dev/null`
echo -n "$S" >/dev/tty0
echo " Local: $4 -> Remote: $5 $1" >/dev/tty0
else
echo " Local: $4 -> Remote: $5 $1" >/dev/tty0
fi

# If you want to ping the other end to keep the connection open.
# The output from ping will goto >/dev/null, you won't see it.
# Ping -i 60 = send ping every 60 seconds to remote = $5.

(ping -i 60 $5 &) >/dev/null 2>&1

# If you want sendmail to send any mail in /var/spool/mqueue when
# you connect, remove the # below.

#sendmail -q

# If you want fetchmail to get your mail when you connect and check
# every 300 seconds = 5 minutes for mail, remove the # below.

#fetchmail -d 300

# End...

i set it to yes... now i get:
i didn't have that before

but i see another thing now..

this is a peace of text that i can see when i type: startmodem

ethernet address... but i'm not even using an ethernet.. or do i misunderstand something?
so i get an ip address from my host...

Do you have an IP address for your ISP?

the ip of my ISP changes a lot too... i have to dial in to the number 8,35 or something like that, don't really remember anymore

DNS1=195.238.2.21
DNS2=195.238.2.22
Try putting these in /etc/ppp/resolve.conf

it allready states

Are you using a dialup or ADSL?

I fixed the b**ch ! i feel a bit bad about the way i did it, but I thought atleast this way i can work at it from the other end!
what i did was re-install slack, without including support for my internal network upon install, so now i can set that up all manually and know exactly what is going on!
(lucky for seperate partitions!)

atleast its all working now, and not routing everything to my nic

Don't feel bad at all. A hammer is my favorite tool too.

haha,yeah that nic should be pleased that its tucked away inside my pc!!! so i cant take to it!

Sorry I had to disappear... Kid's needed to use my computer... the nerve

Glad you got it working.

The great thing about linux is that if something doesn't work, often all you need to do is change a line here or a line there....

The unfortunate thing is that it seems to take a week to figure out which line, in which file, and where your particular distro hides it.

I'm always torn between applauding my perseverance and cursing the time it took to fix it

Hammers look awful good sometimes

later

i have ADSL so i have to dial in onto a special number (8,35)... it has to be something with my dns.. damn i'm getting irritated

Check /var/log/messages and see if you have any error messages.
