Hi,

i am a massive Linux newbie but so far i have done quite well.. I have installed redhat 9 on my laptop. I have got all devices (including winmodem using slmdm2.7 driver) to work. I have upgraded the kernel (to 2.4.20-8) and even got some windoze programs such as dreamweaver + fireworks working with wine...

The one remaining problem is dialing the internet with "Network Configuration".. Everytime I active the device ppp0, i get:

redhat-config-network
Cannot activate network device ppp0!
Failed to activate ppp0 with error 2

...I cant find anywhere what this error means! I know the modem is working as kppp dials any number i tell it to, minicom finds it and wvdial will dial with it?? i am really confised now.

Any thoughts or comments please?


thanks,

Mike
