Hello everyone,

now that the version number of i4b seems high enough, i decided to finally
move from bisdn to i4b.

i4b seems to work already. it compiled into the kernel smoothly and finds
my creatix isdn-card without any problems.
i then configured /etc/isdn/isdnd.rc (the same way that i configured the
bisdn config file - those config's are quite similar, aren't they ?).
isdnd starts without a problem.

after that i did a spppcontrol and set my pap-secrets
(doesnt the sppp package support using /etc/ppp/pap-secrets ?!).
finally i set my default route to -interface isppp0.

i get my ip assigned dynamically (using 0.0.0.0 as my own adress of
isppp0), and i know the (static) adress of the isp's dial-in.
i can ping this (static) adress, but i cant ping any other machine on the
net (for example pinging the ip of my isp's dns doesnt get any reply)

the interface isppp0 says:

isppp0: flags=814<DEBUG,POINTTOPOINT,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
        inet 0.0.0.0 --> 193.197.153.57 netmask 0xffffff00

which looks good to me.


where should i look for the problem ?
is it rather a routing prob (i am quite unsure about all this routing
business) or do i have to search in the i4b configuration (with which i am
even more uncomfortable :))  ?

another question that i'm wondering about is, if i4b makes the device
isppp0 'up' by itself, because i believe it did that while i was testing.
bisdn didn't do that, for all i understand.

thanks for any help in advance - regards,

   Heiko
