And I hope there are some people here who is able to give me some help. Here is my problem: My ISP uses PPP and assigns IP address to each user dynamically. So I used user PPP and made a very few changes to PPP configuration file example located in /etc/ppp, then I renamed it into it's proper name. The only changes I made looks like this: delete all add 0 0 HISADDR in file ppp.linkup. I didn't make any changes to the other file located in the same directory because I think that they have nothing to do with. I just renamed ppp.conf.iij file into ppp.conf file. I read the first line in that file which explain some stuffs about making a connection to an ISP which use PPP and assign IP address dynamically and I thought it could get me out of this problem. As addition, I also made a few changes to /etc/hosts and /etc/sysconfig. It looks loke this: /etc/hosts ----> adding line "10.0.0.1 myhost.local.pc myhost" /etc/sysconfig ---> -set hostname to "myhost.local.pc" -adding ethernet device and tunnel device (ed1 & tun0) and also the neccessary changes to ifconfig_${device} line -set ed1 as "myhost.local.pc" and set tun0 IP address to 0.0.0.0 -set routed flag with "-s" And I also created file /etc/resolv.conf into which I put this line: "nameserver 202.159.65.166" Then I rebooted the machine and invoke PPP. After made some neccessary configuration setting I tried to make a PPP connection by dialing my ISP using command "term". I could connect to my ISP and logging in, but after I invoked PPP in the remote machine into which I logged in, PPP program in my computer and PPP program in remote machine refused to negotiate and I could not get any IP address from my ISP. (invoking PPP in my ISP's remote machine after logging in is the procedure I should do to start PPP program in remote machine). I also would like to tell you that I currently do not know the IP address of my ISP remote machine or gateway and my ISP's network mask. The only address I know is my ISP's DNS. That's all... And thank's anyway for providing time to read this message. I would be very grateful for the help. -Eka Kelana-
