Have you read the ppp man page (i.e. "man ppp")? It is a very good explanation that is comparable to the tutorial but more up-to-date. > > Would it be helpful to add the DNS entries of my ISP somewhere? If > positive, where should I put these? The "enable dns" statement in ppp.conf tells ppp to get DNS information from your ISP when it sets up the ppp connection, but if your ISP doesn't have that information configured on their ppp server, you may want to add it to /etc/resolv.conf. ppp edits this file to update this information when it connects if your ISP provides the information. If not, the values you put there will be used. > > Could you help me some more? > Information for /var/log/ppp.log would probably help figure out what the problem is. > Many thank in advance!!! > > Regards, > > - -brt > > > Bert Hiddink, FUNDACION GALILEO > Correo electronico: hiddink@galileo.or.cr > Sitio: http://www.galileo.or.cr > Tel.
