I am connecting to the internet using a script given
pppd /dev/modem 115200 debug usepeerdns defaultroute connect '/usr/sbin/chat -v "" at+cta=30 OK "atdt#777" CONNECT' mtu 264
The etc/resolv.conf are all proper with the dns no specified.
The problem is it gets connected but stops during resolving the host and gets timed out. I have to enter few options in the etc/ppp/options file. I did that and still that is not working. I want to know is there any other file to which I should make the entries of etc/ppp/options file? I tried this in knoppix and it works fine and I am able to connect and browse. Is the file structure different from other distro in slack? Kindly help me.
I know the problem is wierd if i do the same thing in other distro it works fine, i even tried formatting the partition and reinstalling slack but I have no success. I wanted to know is the file strucure in slack different than other distro? If this dosent work I will have to hunt for another good distro
