If you have more than one ip address, you can add the following files
vi /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0:1
DEVICE-eth0:1
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=123.456.789.123
NETMASK=255.255.255.123
2. Configure machine network and hostnames
Name your system with a real domain name. It will show in email headers and must resolve.
vi /etc/sysconfig/network
NETWORKING=yes
FORWARD_IPV4="no"
HOSTNAME="fun.your_domain.com"
DOMAINNAME=your_domain.com
GATEWAY="66.170.246.1"
GATEWAYDEV="eth0"
3. DNS - Set a nameserver list to resolve names. Use your isp's nameserver as the first one then any others.
vi /etc/resolv.conf
domain your_domain.com
search your_domain.com
nameserver 64.212.103.201
nameserver 64.133.120.76
This may give us a hint as to the problem. When I ran wvdialer the modem was detected and dialed out great! But when I connected it stated pppd failure and restarted the dialer again.
It continued to do this indefinitely until ctrl-c
On Kppp it connects without this pppd failure but I just cant ping out. Any ideas?
