Hi,

I'm having some trouble dialing my ISP using SLAX popcorn edition. I configured the connection with 'pppsetup' and used 'ppp-on' to dial. It dialed ok and appeard to connect, but when I run firefox it just stuck on "Finding Site ..." Bear in mind i'm a linux newb, alot of the configuration process puzzled me (ie CHAP or PAP?? -- I used CHAP)...

Here is the output from 'ppp-on':

Serial Connection Established
Using interface ppp()
Connect: ppp() <--> /dev/ttyS3
No CHAP secret found for ....
CHAP authentication succeeded
CHAP authentication succeeded
local IP addres ....
remote IP address ....
_

So can someome tell me what might be going wrong?
I'm using a ISA hardware controlled modem btw.

Have you configured your dns servers? try editing /etc/resolve.conf and adding your isp's dns server ips

I did a web-based dns-lookup on my ISP. Is this what you a referring to? There was only one IP though, which is the one I used.

I downloaded gnome-ppp and got somewhat better results. It connects just fine, but the connection properties say both download and upload speeds are 0.0, but it still sends and recieves packets. Now instead of firefox and gaim being stuck on "connecting" instead they immediately give an error that they are unable to connect.

Well I just gave Damn Small Linux a shot, same old nonsense. So obviously i'm doing some wrong in the configuration, either that or there's something wrong with my hardware.
