Okay, I've read the fAQ and I've read the Handbook. Actually, I used the handbook to help set up ppp. I followed the instructions. I edited the ppp.conf file as it said I should (I think). I edited the hosts file as I should (I think). I edited other files as I should (I think). Mind you I followed the instructions in the handbook for dynamic ip. Now it seems as thought it dials, starts communicating and then in a short time it hangs up. Only once had I had connection long enough to telnet successfully into ea.uci.edu then it closed. Once I had 9% of Lynx downloaded untill the connection was closed. Now all I get is HOST NOT FOUND or UKNOWN HOST or some sort of message like that. I just want to simply dial in a ppp connection to Inreach and run sum internet software. Maybe I screwed up by naming my computer mustang.ford.com (I love Mustangs <G>). I wish I could show you exactly what I have in the files but I can't even mount my dos partition /dev/wd0s1 (I think). I tells me something about Super Block (?). Anyways, can someone give me a clue to how to do the ppp stuff? Maybe some example of how to connect to an isp or something. Please. Thanks. Bear
