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..
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 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.
this is a peace of text that i can see when i type: startmodem
Code:
cannot determine ethernet address for proxy ARP
local ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
remote ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
primary dns xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
secondary dns xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
connection succeeded
setting up route table
ethernet address... but i'm not even using an ethernet.. or do i misunderstand something?
so i get an ip address from my host...
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
